The LMDA presents: Dramaturging the Phoenix – a special edition

In April 2020, inspired by the d'n Invisible Diaries blog, the LMDA asked its members to contribute short essays to boldly inspire, provoke, and explore theatre’s potential to transform through global crisis.

Dramaturging the Phoenix  challenged writers to imagine the “radical dramaturgy” that will lead theatre and performance into the next year, decade, and century. What ideal theatre-making will heal the communities, nations, and the globe during the long recovery ahead? How can dramaturgical imagination and practices shape the theatrical phoenix that will rise?

Curated and convened by one of the project organisers, Lynde Rosario, this panel will include some of the authors to discuss the boldest ideas emerged from these essays.
