Katie Mitchell’s work is routinely described as possessing a clinical quality. For example, Christopher Innes and Maria Shevtsova write: ‘Forensic is apt for Mitchell’s way of directing, because she is interested, above all, in behaviour’. Lyn Gardner describes how ‘Mitchell turns an almost forensic gaze on Ophelia, bringing her into focus’. Emma Cole explains Mitchell’s process for her 2007 staging of Women of Troy thus: ‘Mitchell assisted her actors in realizing these psychological profiles by working with them to portray such states with an accurate biology of emotions.’ Likewise, Rosemary Malague suggests: ‘Stanislavsky’s distinction [between Realism and Naturalism] is helpful in assessing Mitchell’s work, for she clearly chooses setting, objects, and character behaviour not for the purpose of replicating the “surface” of real life, but for their power to reveal what lies beneath the surface’. What is emphasised here is the supposed truthfulness of Mitchell’s constructions of an unflinching, intimate gaze. In fact, Dan Rebellato suggests that her very understanding of the director’s role is to create ‘the conditions for actors to work logically, precisely and concretely, and – to use an unfashionable word – truthfully’. Mitchell’s methods, then, are taken to reveal not only surface but depth, and thereby allow us, the audience, access to what’s really going on. Indeed, speaking of her production of Iphigenia at Aulis (2004), Mitchell said:

“你是一个 O。你脸上的黑色 O”:凯蒂·米切尔的《奥菲利亚斯·齐默》和《自杀解剖》中的疯狂和灾难

Katie Mitchell 的工作通常被描述为具有临床质量。例如,克里斯托弗·英尼斯 (Christopher Innes) 和玛丽亚·舍夫索娃 (Maria Shevtsova) 写道:“法医适合米切尔的导演方式,因为她最感兴趣的是行为”。林恩·加德纳 (Lyn Gardner) 描述了“米切尔如何将近乎法医的目光转向奥菲莉亚,让她成为焦点”。Emma Cole 这样解释了 Mitchell 为她 2007 年的《特洛伊女人》上演的过程:“Mitchell 帮助她的演员们通过与他们合作用准确的情绪生物学来描绘这些状态来实现这些心理特征。” 同样,罗斯玛丽·马拉格 (Rosemary Malague) 建议:“斯坦尼斯拉夫斯基 [现实主义和自然主义之间] 的区别有助于评估米切尔的作品,因为她清楚地选择场景、对象和角色行为,而不是为了复制现实生活的“表面”,而是因为他们有能力揭示表面之下的东西”。这里强调的是米切尔构建的坚定不移的亲密凝视的假设真实性。事实上,丹·雷贝拉托(Dan Rebellato)表示,她对导演角色的深刻理解是“为演员创造条件,让他们能够合乎逻辑地、准确地、具体地工作,并且——用一个不时髦的词——如实”。然后,米切尔的方法不仅揭示表面,而且揭示深度,从而让我们观众能够了解真正发生的事情。事实上,在谈到她在奥利斯 (2004) 制作的伊菲革涅亚 (Iphigenia) 时,米切尔说:丹·雷贝拉托 (Dan Rebellato) 表示,她对导演角色的深刻理解是“为演员创造条件,让他们能够逻辑地、准确地、具体地工作,并且——用一个不流行的词——真实地”。然后,米切尔的方法不仅揭示表面,而且揭示深度,从而让我们观众能够了解真正发生的事情。事实上,在谈到她在奥利斯 (2004) 制作的伊菲革涅亚 (Iphigenia) 时,米切尔说:丹·雷贝拉托 (Dan Rebellato) 表示,她对导演角色的深刻理解是“为演员创造条件,让他们能够逻辑地、准确地、具体地工作,并且——用一个不流行的词——真实地”。然后,米切尔的方法不仅揭示表面,而且揭示深度,从而让我们,观众,了解真正发生的事情。事实上,在谈到她在奥利斯 (2004) 制作的伊菲革涅亚 (Iphigenia) 时,米切尔说:
