Adramaturg supports the creative development of theater and performance pieces from a research perspective. Dramaturgs work with playwrights, directors, and other kinds of theater makers in a wide variety of ways, by providing an analytic and academic eye to the work. As a ludoturgI also provide this same sort of support to game designers developing games in which narrative and/or role-playing are key aspects.
Here are some examples of how I can help you with your project:
Developmental Support To provide an "outside eye" to you as you develop your play, game, or other performance piece. May include:
One-time verbal or written feedback on your work-in-progress
Ongoing support during rehearsal/playtesting
Reference Materials To provide historical, cultural, and theoretical context for you and your creative team as you develop your play, game, or other performance piece. May include:
Research packets
Glossaries
Custom syllabi
Audience/Player Enrichment Materials To provide supplemental historical, cultural, and theoretical context for your audience/players as they engage with your play, game, or other performance piece. May include:
Written articles/pamphlets
Study guides
Lobby displays
Podcasts/video essays
Dialogue Facilitation To help start meaningful conversations between the people who make the art and the people who experience the art. May include:
Talk-back facilitation
Panel moderation
Live or recorded interviews
