Dramaturgy of Form examines verse in twenty-first-century theatre
practice across different languages, cultures, and media. Through
interdisciplinary engagement, Kasia Lech offers a new method for
verse analysis in the performance context. The book traces the
dramaturgical operation of verse in new writings, musicals, devised
performances, multilingual dramas, Hip Hop theatre, films, digital
projects, and gig theatre, as well as translations and adaptations
of classics and new theatre forms created by Irish, Spanish,
Nigerian, Polish, American, Canadian, Australian, British, Russian,
and multinational artists. Their verse dramaturgies explore timely
issues such as global identities, agency and precarity, global and
local politics, and generational and class stories. The development
of dramaturgy is discussed with the focus turning to the new
stylized approach to theatre, whose arrival Hans-Thies Lehmann
foretold in his Postdramatic Theatre, documenting a turning point
for contemporary Western theatre. Serving theatre-makers, scholars,
and students working with classical and contemporary verse and
poetry in performance contexts; practitioners and academics of
aural and oral dramaturgies; voice and verse-speaking coaches; and
actors seeking the creative opportunities that verse offers,
Dramaturgy of Form reveals verse as a tool for innovation and
transformation that is at the forefront of contemporary practices
and experiences.
