An attempt to Decentralize dramaturgy: diary of an afropean dramaturg

How we tell our stories teaches us how to look at the world.

The beginning, middle and an end. A motor moment. The conflict. The protagonist. The universal. The floor. Your audience. Dramaturgy. To what extent does the dominant perspective on dramaturgy serve the stories carried in our society? What other perspectives are there and how are they applied in practice?  

In this session, Yahmani Blackman shares her research on other perspectives on dramaturgy. A research consisting of conversations with makers and dramaturgists from the Netherlands and London. With the goal of decentralizing perspectives on dramaturgy and providing a more authentic framework for stories/makers who need it.
