Highlighting LMDA Digital Conference session: Collaborative Dance Dramaturgy
See the conference schedule for event details.
Academic institutions often pair Theatre and Dance into unified departments leading to both opportunities for collaboration and struggles with conflicting needs. Dramaturgy finds itself at the crossroads of the “and” in theatre and dance departments. This roundtable will explore a case study of the Indiana University Dramaturgy MFA program working as a collaborative team as dance dramaturgs for the faculty dance concert and brainstorm how dramaturgy can lead collaboration within departments.
