In this lecture Peter Eckersall will discuss the role of dramaturgy in making contemporary performance. He will explore dramaturgy as an ‘expanded field’ of practices that include creative research, writing, devising practices and social practices.

A key question will be how dramaturgy helps to make performances that are creative and aesthetically innovative while using the medium of theatre itself to make visible our political conditions and debate the future.

What can the performing arts do and what are its limitations? What can dramaturgy bring to questions for performance makers, dramaturgs, and cultural thinkers? How does contemporary performance engage us in the ethical, aesthetic, and political questions of our times?
