New Media: Dramatists in the Age of Twitter, Facebook—Dramatists Guild—Aug 22, 2013
Channel: HowlRound Theatre Commons
Date: 20/08/2014

Dramatists Guild of America presents the 2nd Annual National Conference in Chicago "Having Our Say: Our History, Our Future" livestreaming on the global, peer produced, open source HowlRound TV channel at howlround.tv Thursday, August 22 and Friday, August 23. 

Thanks to social media, the entire paradigm by which playwrights connect with other playwrights, with other theatre artists, and (most importantly) with theatres is undergoing a somewhat radical transformation. The possibilities offered by Twitter and Facebook alone are immense... but only if playwrights embrace and engage with them. This session will re-frame the potential of social media, inspire playwrights to participate in new ways, lay out some of the more radical possibilities, and issue a few dearly-bought warnings about potential pitfalls. Even if you consider yourself an avid user—and certainly if you happen to be a novice—this session is for you.
