Many have struggled to define the role of a dramaturge. According to Susan Jonas, author of Dramaturgy in American Theater, A Source Book, the primary job of a theater's production dramaturge is to focus his or her energies and those of the artistic director on long-range research and development and on artistic planning. A dramaturge's job could include reading plays (old and new)-helping to choose the best for your theatre to make an interesting season; translating or re-translating plays, adapting a piece for other media (novel for a stage; stage play into a radio play etc.); analyzing a chosen play, looking closely at the text as a structure and its meanings, to help you to develop your conception of the production before you start rehearsing; editing and cutting to help shape the drama that is to be staged; research to provide you background information needed for successful rehearsals advice to help co-ordinate rehearsals and to balance the different facets of the play (space, time, text etc.); assisting in keeping sight of the concept of the play throughout the rehearsal process, preserving the core ideas of the theme and the writer's aims. 2g uses dramaturges to develop works during its In The Works reading process, and on the current production: The Wedding Banquet - The Musical. Got a question? E-mail me at gleung@2g.org We’ll find you an answer!
