Dramaturgy Blog

Welcome to the blog! First, some ground rules:

1 – I am no arbiter. I am working it out as much as anyone. What works for me on one project may not on other projects or for other people. I am also certainly not claiming originality.

1. What is a dramaturg?

Hello. This is the first of my attempts at getting down some of my thoughts on dramaturgy. As this is a blog I have tried to write reasonably freely without too much editing or dramaturgy, to avoid it becoming an essay. I am sure it will be clumsy. It is also by no means exhaustive.
