“Dramaturgy should be viewed as an adaptive process that is able to respond to place, people and use.” – Janet Pillai
With the wide-ranging curiosities relating to dramaturgy and its expanded notions, "Vol. 2" of the ADN Re/View E-zine series considers how ‘tracing’ offers a frame to work with when making sense of how dramaturgy affects our lives – in performance-making and in the everyday.
Whether the discussion is about history, tradition, gender, sexuality or race, the performance work that is referred to by varied ADN presenters provides a resource from which they extrapolate or theorise ideas that matter to them. How does one’s subjective experience shape the dramaturgical process in theatre and in life?
In this online roundtable discussion, practitioner-dramaturgs Gee Imaan Semmalar, Janice Poon, Helly Minarti and led by provocateur-moderator Kok Heng Leun, will respond to and unpack key points brought up in Vol. 2.
