New Dramaturgy: International Perspectives on Theory and Practice

Editat de Katalin Trencsényi, Bernadette Cochrane
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 24 apr 2014
Recent shifts in the theatrical landscape have had corresponding implications for dramaturgy. The way we think about theatre and performance today has changed our approaches to theatre making and composition. Emerging new aesthetics and new areas of dramaturgical work such as live art, devised and physical theatre, experimental performance, and dance demand new approaches and sensibilities.

New Dramaturgy: International Perspectives on Theory and Practice is the first book to explore new dramaturgy in depth, and considers how our thinking about dramaturgy and the role of the dramaturg has been transformed.

Edited by Katalin Trencsényi and Bernadette Cochrane, New Dramaturgy: International Perspectives on Theory and Practice provides an unrivalled resource for practitioners, scholars, and students.

Recenzii

The broad range of perspectives on new dramaturgy presented in this book provides fertile ground for new thinking and will be a useful resource for scholars, dramaturgs, practitioners, and students alike.
In the foreword to their edited collection, Katalin Trencsenyi and Bernadette Cochrane explain the term 'New Dramaturgy' . defined as a flexible concept, ranging across diverse practices, acknowledging coexisting contradictory ideas and theories which combine three important characteristics: 'they are postmimetic, they embrace interculturalism and they are process-conscious' (p. xii, italics in original). Working from this premise, the volume presents fifteen essays by contributors . [that] can be divided into essays that focus heavily on a description of practice and essays that deal with dramaturgy on a more theoretical level.
There's something inordinately fascinating in the differing approaches of the practitioners, critics and academics in this book to the subject of 'New Dramaturgy', but rather than trying to iron out those creases, they are laid bare by association.
New Dramaturgy, edited by Katalin Trencsényi and Bernadette Cochraine, not only orientates the reader in the dramaturgical landscape of contemporary theatre, dance theatre, experimental theatre, and site specific theatre, but also demonstrates that the search for new paths, risk taking and experimentation is very much a defining element of the renewal of the art of theatre and performance.
