The Practice of Dramaturgy addresses dramaturgy as a shared, politicized and catalytic practice that sets actions into motion in a more speculative, rather than an instructive way. The first part explores three working principles that lie at the heart of the editors’ propositions, and relates these to debates on action, work and post-Fordist labour. The second part presents essays by various scholars and practitioners and opens up to different artistic, social and political perspectives that such understanding of dramaturgy may give rise to.
