'Instead of acting, the performers use exercises to create the possibility of extending their own behaviour into the arena of the action presented to the public - thus the only drama the performers are involved in is that of their real lives at the time of the performance. The "drama" visible depends largely on the audience reading their own interpretation into every situation made manifest at the same time as they watch the performance as i they were a game watched for the first time - having both to elucidate the rules and judge how the game may be progressing' (Howell and Templeton, 1977: 12)

'Drama has more to do with mistakes than with the enactment of cause and effect' (Howell and Templeton, 1977: 13)
