This roundtable session addresses the issue of whether there is such a ‘thing’ or concept as Asian dramaturgy. More importantly, it hopes to juxtapose culturally-specific dramaturgical practices across transnational borders and regions such as India, Southeast Asia, and East Asia/Japan. The session also hopes to shed some light on the practice of dramaturgy and the dramaturg in history that may have eluded the formal (Western) definition.
