Summary

Ghost Light: An Introductory Handbook for Dramaturgy offers useful and entertaining answers to the confounding question: "What, exactly, is dramaturgy, and what does a dramaturg do?" According to Michael Mark Chemers, dramaturgs are the scientists of the theater world - their primary responsibility is to query the creative possibilities in every step of the production process, from play selection to costume design, and then research the various options and find ways to transform that knowledge into useful ideas. To say that dramaturgs are well-rounded is an understatement: Those who choose this profession must possess an acute aesthetic sensibility in combination with an extensive knowledge of theater history and practice, world history, and critical theory, and they must be able to collaborate with every member of the creative team and theater administration.

I gave it forty seven mins....

Very odd sort of a text. Why are dates in "BCE?" Never heard of that? Also, doesn't seem to go anywhere or explain the role of a dramaturg. Gave up when still in Ancient Time... but... like I said, the "time" calculation seems to be rather odd. I'm sure there is a good book on dramaturgy out there, but this isn't it.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
