Dramaturgy

I consider dramaturgy the art of building bridges - between audiences and performances, between artists and texts, and between collaborators. My work as a dramaturg encompasses new plays, adaptations of non-theatrical material, and classical performance. In all, I bring a critical eye, historic sensibility, and deep understanding of theatrical practice to bear.
