Focus on Dramaturgy

<p>This is a concise survey of new play projects that bring together the worlds of science and performance, and the benefits that dramaturgical praxis can bring to both disciplines.</p><p>Three approaches common to both performance and science – collaboration, experimentation, and interpretation – are reflected in a series of case studies that demonstrate the ways in which dramaturgical tools can inform the wider public about scientific knowledge and practice, provide a truly reciprocal model of co-operation in collaboration that happens early on in the research process, and inspire the creation of new dramatic forms that enact, rather than translate, the dynamics of scientific research.</p><p>Part of the <i>Routledge Focus on Dramaturgy</i> series, this is a vital account of collaborative work for scholars and practitioners of theatre and performance, as well as readers across the sciences.</p>
