The Dramaturg in Programming, Curating and Research | ADN Lab 2018

This panel explores the role of the dramaturg in the programming, curation and research of performance art-making. RUHANIE PERERA talks about negotiating subjectivities in curation and research, referring to her experiences with the performance artworks “Inside the Melancholic Object”, “Effigies of Turbulent Yesterdays”, “Herstories” and “Ironing Man”. MANDEEP RAIKHY’s presentation is about the programming of Delhi-based dance organisation Gati Dance Forum which he and other choreographers had set up in 2007, aiming to create dialogue around dance practice and between dance practitioners. MUHAMMAD ABBE BAASYIN shares about his research on Indonesian artist Bagon Kussudiardja and the decisions made about presenting the findings in an exhibition, particularly choosing to contextualise the exhibition within Indonesia’s socio-political developments.

ADN Lab is a structured experimental space for practice-based research in dramaturgy and the role of the dramaturg. It allows for observation and responses to how dramaturgs operate in rehearsal and workshop settings, as well as in dialogue with artists. ADN Lab 2018 was co-organised by Centre 42 and Cemeti - Institute for Art and Society, and comprised one day of public forums, two days of closed-door lab sessions, and a final day with a lab showcase for the public.
