The Role of the Dramaturg in Performance-Making | ADN Lab 2018

This panel explores the role of the dramaturg in performance-making through case studies and critical reflections. TAUFIK DARWIS speaks about facilitating the research process on the work "Us/Not Us" by the Bandung Performing Arts Forum - BPAF. CHARLENE RAJENDRAN presents the dramaturg as an active and critical listener, using her work in "Both Sides, Now", an art project that deals with death and dying, as a case study. KEI SAITO ruminates on the role of the dramaturg from a producer’s perspective, citing his work on projects in Japan and Scotland. LIM HOW NGEAN discusses the role of the dramaturg with reference to ideas brought up during the inaugural ADN Symposium, as well as his experiences working with choreographers Pichet Klunchun and Eko Supriyanto.

ADN Lab is a structured experimental space for practice-based research in dramaturgy and the role of the dramaturg.
