Oy, yes! The question is what it would look like.
I've a notion to begin producing modular subsystems for folks to drop into their games and would love to see other designers get involved in doing the same. I'm trying to get discussion forums set up on my blog site to help with it. I can see multiple takes on the same basic subsytems riffing off of each other in a discussion & design space, with formating templates available for all to use and version data that shows what design lineage the work is part of. I don't know if this is what you're thinking of, though I think it fits in with this.
Read it. You're talking about improv acting and such, which isn't necessary to roleplaying. No player has to ever speak as a character. They can speak in first person, if they wish, though third person works just as well. They can take an actor stance, sure, and they can take an author stance just as well. The role playing is the decision making. The delivery doesn't change that.
If you really enjoy the thespian activities as part of your play, carry on! Share your joy in that! I'll recommend not couching it as roleplaying, though, as it's an adjunct to the roleplaying. (I can say that in the forty years I've been roleplaying, I've rarely done any first person acting.)
