Dramaturg on the Road

I am very pleased to announce that in October, I will be traveling to Arizona State University to teach dramaturgical methodologies to first-year grad students in Dr. Tamara Underiner's Research Methods course. This is an exciting opportunity: I will get to develop a much condensed introduction to dramaturgy that I can then expand into a larger syllabus for future coursework.

I am also going to begin work with TACIT (Theatre Arts at the California Institute of Technology) in a more formal capacity, as a producer/dramaturg. I will be both producing and dramaturging the fall show, Karel Capek's R.U.R. (in a new translation!). The dramaturg end is much like what I did with Life of Galileo - production dramaturgy with a dash of dramaturgical suppllement-as-outreach thrown in. For the producer role, I will seek out donations in innovative ways. What exactly does that mean? I have a few ideas that I am developing, things that I hope will situate TACIT (and theatre, more generally) at the intersection between science and culture. More details to come.
