DRAMATURGY

The image of the dramaturg resembling a stuffy librarian, as opposed to the largely intuitive process of theatre making, belongs to the past. Contemporary theatre performances not only tell a story, but constantly reflect on the world in which that s
tory takes place and is shown. As a result, dramaturgy has become part of the artistic process. Thus everybody involved in a theatre production is concerned with dramaturgical thinking, i.e. how to relate to material, process, audience and society. T
he dramaturg crosses borders between theory and practice, between theatre makers, performance and audience.



''Dramaturgy. An Introduction'' provides a broad overview of the concept of dramaturgy and the profession of the dramaturg
. It is intended for students and teachers of theatre and performance studies, but also for directors, scenographers, actors and for all lovers of theatre.
