The third and final volume of ADN Re/View plays with the notion of framing in dramaturgical thinking and the work of a dramaturg. A recurring challenge for a dramaturg, as with an artist, is to work out what really needs to be done and how best to do this. Varied options may emerge as to the kinds of frames and framing mechanisms that would best serve the work, and shaping the frames is an aspect of artistry that may not always be noticed.
Rounding up the ADN Re/View series of e-publications, dramaturgs Janet Pillai and David Pledger are invited to respond to the questions and themes arising from Vol. 3, Framing, as well as previous volumes - Vol. 1, Mapping and Vol. 2, Tracing. Facilitated by Charlene Rajendran, the conversation will also look at their thoughts on dramaturgy and dramaturgs in the current climate.
