## Description

Dramaturgy: The Basics introduces the art of dramaturgy, explaining how dramaturgy works, what a dramaturg is, and how to appreciate their unique contribution to theatre-making. A wide-ranging account of the role of this vital element of theatre helps students and aspiring performance makers to apply dramaturgy to a full spectrum of theatrical disciplines. This guidebook teaches dramatic theories and script analysis as essential skills for aspiring dramaturgs and illustrates the various methods of reading for specific functions of dramaturgy. Dramaturgy: The Basics offers practical step-by-step instructions on how to practice production dramaturgy, dramaturgy of new work, translation, adaptation, devised theatre, site-specific theatre, literary management, criticism, editing, producing, and dramaturgical innovation, with detailed questions to consider at each stage of the process. This book aims to help students develop a dramaturgical mindset, enabling them to build a critical, inquisitive, and socially conscious perspective that is beneficial in all professions and relationships. Resource lists, further reading guides, and chapter summaries make this an outstanding guidebook. An essential read for anyone hoping to make, understand, or discuss theatre, Dramaturgy: The Basics provides a clear, accessible resource for approaching this integral but often misunderstood facet of theatre-making.

Review: Pages glued together - I have no actual review on the book itself. however, in my copy there were several pages that were glued together about a quarter of the way into the page itself. It took careful peeling apart of these pages in order to read. Just a heads up for those needing to order this book.
Review: A look at one of the most recent additions to storytelling's cast of characters: the dramaturg. - As a playwright I got exactly what I expected from this book: how the third eye of the dramaturg can enrich and deepen the writer's writing, resulting in more thoughtful and impactful storytelling. What I didn't expect was how this role can be deployed to all aspects of theatrical production: from play selection to direction, to scenic design, to community outreach, to the lobby display! The authors have explored every aspect of contemporary dramaturgy, and this book should be on every theatremaker's shelf. Eric Conger, playwright.
