The Wide Wild Field of Dramaturgy: Riga, November 9 and 10



What is the expanded function, role and practice of dramaturgy in the context of works and collaborations that does not respond to strict formats? The workshop and coaching The Wide Wild Field of Dramaturgy led by Inga Schonlau will focus on dramaturgical aspects and models employed in different artistic situations and analyse real life examples. A special attention will be paid to dance and body works and projects that occupy public and private spaces.

She has collaborated with HAU Berlin on the project X Wohnungen Berlin and Caracas, with Hanna Hurzig on Mobile Academy and worked as assistant of the artistic director of Volksbühne Berlin. Until 2013 Inga was dance and theatre dramaturge at Theater Freiburg. Currently she is a dramaturge at Theater Neumarkt in Zürich and together with choreogrpaher Graham Smith and director Tom Schneider runs dance company pvc where they focus on the radical opening of institutional boundaries, the questioning of sanctities, and the mission to develop virally.
