The Dramaturgs’ Network Inaugural Symposium 2002
REPORT FROM THE NETWORK’S INAUGURAL SYMPOSIUM ON 18 MARCH 2002 AT THE ALBERY THEATRE, LONDON
by David Lane
Welcome to the first Dramaturgs Network newsletter. As many of you know, our first symposium was held recently at the Albery Theatre in London, attended by a wide range of professional representatives from theatres and creative organisations from London and beyond. The symposium was intended to be not only a forum for a debate concerning the dramaturg’s role in the theatre making process but also a chance for the Network to receive constructive feedback from our future collaborators and members. It was a rare opportunity to gather dramaturgs, academics, directors, writers and literary managers together to share their opinions on dramaturgy in an intellectually stimulating environment.
