Dramaturgy in the Making maps contemporary dramaturgical practices
in various settings of theatre-making and dance to reveal the
different ways that dramaturgs work today. It provides a thorough
survey of three major areas of practice - institutional dramaturgy,
production dramaturgy and dance dramaturgy - with each illustrated
through a range of case studies that illuminate methodology and
which will assist practitioners in developing their own
'dramaturgical toolbox'. In tracing the development of the role of
the dramaturg, the author explores the contribution of Lessing,
Brecht and Tynan, foundational figures who shaped the practice. She
excavates the historical and theoretical contexts for each strand
of the work, uniquely offering a history of dance dramaturgy and
its associated theories. Based on extensive research, the volume
features material from the author's interviews with fifty eminent
professionals from Europe and North America, including: Robert
Blacker, Jack Bradley, DD Kugler, Ruth Little and Hildegard De
Vuyst. Through these, a detailed and precise insight is provided
into dramaturgical processes at organisations such as the Akram
Khan Company, les ballets C de la B (Gent), the National Theatre
and the Royal Court (London), the Schaubuhne (Berlin) and The
Sundance Institute Theatre Lab (Utah), among others. Dramaturgy in
the Making will prove indispensable to anyone working in theatre or
wanting to better understand the dramaturgical processes in
performance-making today. The book features a foreword by Geoff
Proehl, author of Toward a Dramaturgical Sensibility: Landscape and
Journey.
