“Dramaturgy is a creative practice that, through critical thinking, enhances the breadth and depth of artistic imagination. Dramaturgy is an integral process to the origination, development, production, and reception of plays and theatrical performances.” – Walter Byongsok Chon
This workshop is designed to familiarize the participants with the term “dramaturgy,” to enhance their understanding and appreciation of dramaturgy as a practice and a profession, and to provide them with the essential tools to practice dramaturgy. We will examine dramaturgy in its various functions and explore the role of the dramaturg in relation to the play text, the playwright, the artistic team, the theatre, the audience, and the community as a whole, both professional and public. Through extended discussions and practical exercises, this workshop will help develop an understanding of dramaturgy as a process integral to the creation, development, production, and reception of plays and theatrical performances.
Syllabus: Introduction to Dramaturgy; How to Read a Play: Reading with a Dramaturgical Sensibility; Dramaturgy Practicum and Case Studies – Overview; Case Study I and II; Dramaturgy Practicum III and IV; Daring Dramaturgies in Practice and New Voices in American Theatre; Resources for Dramaturgs and Playwrights.

www.hamiltonlit.comI just returned from ten days in Omaha, Nebraska, where I participated as a workshop leader for a Dramaturgy Intensive at the University of Nebraska-Omaha, and gave dramaturgical feedback to ten playwrights whose works were given readings at the Great Plains Theatre Conference.
Walter Byongsok Chon designed the intensive, which was one offering included in a month-long course offered by Dr. Cindy Phanuef. He gave six lectures, and Heather Helinsky and I led one workshop each.
It was my second year as a dramaturgical respondent at the GPTC, and my first as a workshop leader at UNO. The plays and playwrights were absolutely terrific. I also enjoyed spending time with other Guest Artists such as Constance Congdon, Mac Wellman, Ruth Margraff, Kate Snodgrass, Elena Araoz, Justin Townsend, and Eliza Bent. Many thanks to Artistic Director Kevin Lawler for inviting me to participate again.
Here are the plays I was privileged to work on:
PlayLab Readings
Penny Gets Bit by Molly Welsh
The Singularity by Crystal Jackson
Ganglia: Instructions for the Symbiogenesis by Peter Roth
Daughter by Elana Gartner
Silueta by Diana Burbano, Christopher Shelton, Tom Shelton
Neverland Industries by Danny Carroll
Irreversible by Jack Karp
Madame Ho by Eugenie Chan
MainStage Readings
William & Judith by Cody Daigle
Mai Dang Lao by David Jacobi
Many congratulations to all of the playwrights, and best wishes for the continued development of their new work.

Workshops by AnneOn May 23rd and 24th I’ll be joining UNO Professor of Theatre Cindy Melby Phaneuf, Walter Byongsok Chon and Heather Helinksy in teaching a dramaturgy intensive at the University of Nebraska in Omaha. I met Cindy last May while I was serving as a dramaturg at the Great Plains Theatre Conference. She has put together a terrific intensive workshop, which will be led primarily by Walter. I will teach a section on dramaturging classics, using Carolyn Balducci’s adaptation of LYSISTRATA as a text.
This intensive is open to University of Nebraska – Omaha students only. If you are interested in the topic, please contact me at hamiltonlit@hotmail.com, and I will try to accommodate you in the future.
Attached is information on a 2 day intensive part of this summer’s offering for undergraduate and graduate students through the department of Theatre. There will be 3 professional dramaturgs with MFAs from Yale, Columbia, and Harvard teaching this class with me. We will meet for 2 intensive days on May 23 and 24—and then the students will participate in the Great Plains Theatre Conference for one day during the week following to see dramaturgs in action. If a student can find 3 days in May—they can take advantage of this exciting learning opportunity. The course is THEA 8000 for 3 credit hours—and beyond the days in May—the course will be completed as an independent project.
Questions—email cphaneuf@unomaha.edu or call Dr. Cindy Melby Phaneuf, 402.554.2552
