Recensies en Artikelen

'It’s by far the best book on dramaturgy I have ever seen.'
Bryan Reynolds, Chancellor’s Professor / Claire Trevor Professor, University of California Irvine

'Authors Cock Dieleman, Ricarda Franzen, Veronika Zangl and Henk Danner are active in dramaturgy practice and education and succeed in sharpening the view of the field in just 180 pages. With clear formulations, nuanced examples and fundamental theories, this Introduction remains entertaining right through to the instructive glossary at the end.'

Dramaturgy

An Introduction

De onderstaande tekst is niet beschikbaar in het Nederlands en wordt in het Engels weergegeven.
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 story 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. The 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.
