To add to Expressionism article edit

Something about Raymond Williams' analysis of social and subjective Expressionism
Something here about delay within theatre between dramatic and theatrical movements.
Something here about worldwide impact of German Expressionist cinema, international reach of German Expressionist theatre (and interaction/influence of cinema), etc.
Now something about how all that changed during the First World War and its international promotion by German Expressionist cinema (branding), and the emergence of Expressionism on the American stage; this shouldn't become a section about influence, but rather try to map the movement by confining itself to people who came to self-identify or who have been identified in retrospect by critics, as Expressionist.
Need to add in Gilles Deleuze's analysis of Expressionism as a rupturing of the principles of organic composition developed by D. W. Griffiths and the Soviet montage schools.
