About The Art of Dramaturgy:
Anne Cattaneo, one of the first Americans to fill the role of dramaturg, is a theater artist, scholar, researcher, play advocate, editor, and writer’s friend. She defines the job of a dramaturg to “reflect light back on the elements that are already in play,” while bringing a work of theater to life on a stage. Cattaneo traces the field from its beginnings in the eighteenth century to the present and chronicles the multitude and variety of tasks a dramaturg undertakes before, during, and after a production is brought to the stage. Using detailed stories from her work with theater artists such as Tom Stoppard, Wendy Wasserstein, Robert Wilson, Shi-Zheng Chen, and Sarah Ruhl— as well as the rediscovery of a ‘lost’ play by Langston Hughes and Zora Neale Hurston—Cattaneo provides an invaluable manual to those studying, working in, and interested in dramaturgy.
