Dramaturgy Practices

10 e 12 MAY | 16h30 - 19h30

6 hours | 12 participants | 7,5€

Rectors Room (Rectory's University of Lisbon)

The practical exercise will be centered around the analysis of the play Three Women with Iron Masks (1998/2014), by Agustina Bessa-Luís

Based on the study of the evolution of the concept of dramaturgy (from the Poetics by Aristotle to the Hamburg Dramaturgy by Lessing, from Brecht's epic theatre to the postdramatic theatre of Hans-Thies Lehmann and to preformance), we will be analyzing texts and presenting examples of the diversity of dramaturgy practices, such as the writing of versions and theatrical adaptations, the dramaturgical analysis or the research work that contributes to the planning of a play and the development of the materials (synopsis, programme booklet, programme, online content) which accompany it and promote it.
