Truth & Meaning at Play
The Work of a Contemporary Dramaturg
Sounding the Collective Moment
What does a dramaturg do? What can a dramaturg be? The dramaturg is not a special breed, like a peacock or an orchid – dramaturgy is a process, a way of seeing and experiencing, that “lives” inside us all. In one-on-one sessions with three transformative dramaturgs, Resident Dramaturg Philippa Kelly asks Faedra Carpenter, Martine Kei Green-Rogers and Finn Le Fevre to explore the exciting question of how dramaturgy helps re-frame and expand the way we see theater today.
Sessions take place on Zoom!
Truth & Meaning at Play
The Work of a Contemporary Dramaturg
Join Philippa Kelly for a lively conversation with groundbreaking dramaturgs on how they work with directors, designers, playwrights, and actors in productions across America while asking us all to flex and stretch our understandings of who should be making what plays, and how.
These monthly hour-long sessions are geared toward theatermakers, students, and audience members eager to explore how dramaturgy shapes the national discourse in theater today. There will be ample opportunity for questions.
