About the Program
The Dramaturgy Development Group brings together expert voices to share their experience and advice on the craft of theatre making.
Aimed at emerging and established professionals, these keynote sessions will be led by a wide range of industry-leading dramaturgs, delivered online to ensure professional development is made accessible to artists and theatre makers across Australia.
Join Encounter’s resident dramaturg, Jules Orcullo, in conversation with a new guest dramaturg each session, as they explore a multi-faceted approach to dramaturgy. Together, the speakers will explain how to demystify and develop your own practice, while empowering the next generation of theatre makers to use dramaturgy as a tool for artistic exploration, cultural dialogue, and social change.
Sessions include 60 min keynote, followed by 30 min facilitated Q&A.
Location: Keynotes will be delivered via online platform.
