Relating dramaturgy to dance expanded the field of dramaturgy. In this research week the students will be introduced to the notion of dramaturgy. Travelling through history different understandings of the term are introduced. Additionally, to the main tutor, guest speaker(s) will share their view and personal dramaturgical practice.
