I fully understand the vast majority of theatre-makers who want to free themselves from critical definitions. The most obvious reason they have is that definitions are generally constricting�they simply �feel tight�. What�s more, definitions can be like uniforms�and how could we expect that a great director, for instance, would settle for being simply, say, �a post-modernist�, when there are so many others labeled in the same way?! Then, definitions�especially when they consist of one or two words�tend to be quite flat, that is, strikingly incongruous with the three-dimensional nature of theatre.
