Dramaturgy. Defined, discussed and debated.

PCL Studio ATB Financial Arts Barns
Over 100 new plays are created and premiered every year at the Edmonton International Fringe Theatre Festival. With such an extensive amount of new work being developed and produced, it begs the questions: What is dramaturgy? How can a dramaturg help a playwright? How do the playwright/dramaturg/director work together to stage a new work?
We’ve assembled an eclectic group of Fringe artists, including playwrights and directors, to get to the bottom of how a successful play actually comes to life.
