Becoming Dramaturg: Possibilities for an Ethical and Expanded Practice (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781350417175)

Becoming Dramaturg: Possibilities for an Ethical and Expanded Practice examines how performance development can be enhanced by the work of a dramaturg, how practitioners can prepare for the role working across diverse cultures and different kinds of performance events, how the dramaturg can facilitate ethical collaborations, and how dramaturgical thinking can inspire new ways of learning and knowing.

Fiona Graham draws upon her international experience as a dramaturg, her own pedagogical insights, practitioner interviews, teaching examples and performance case studies to examine the 'what', 'why' and 'how' of dramaturgical development.

A key concept is that the work of a dramaturg is always in a state of becoming and never settled or defined by a single performance development process. Graham's manifesto for dramaturgs aims to advance the role by presenting ethical and expanded provocations for constructive, transparent, reflexive and radically inclusive ways of working.
