With the rise of the new information age, theatre-making has not been immune to the fast-paced global exchange of goods and ideas. Thanks to the Internet and the digital revolution, average theatregoers are now more aware than ever of their interconnected and interdependent relationships with people and places other than their own. Like cultural artefacts and memes, theatre artists move between countries, continents and neighborhoods with greater ease, creating works that must necessarily negotiate between specific local and global identities. In this new context, dramaturgy emerges as an essential interlink that translates and connects the vast and varied cultural paradigms, while developing complex inter-institutional collaborations.

Literary Managers & Dramaturgs of the Americas will hold its 2014 annual international conference in Boston, USA and will livestream five events on the global, commons-based peer produced HowlRound TV network at howlround.tv from Thursday, June 26 to Saturday, June 28, 2014.

The theme of the conference is “Building the Future.”  In 2013, our LMDA conference focused on adapting to change and the dramaturg’s role in stewarding organizational and cultural transformation.  Now, that we have discussed a changing landscape and how we can respond, we are looking ahead to our 2014 conference in Boston to begin “Building the Future;” creating a space for both vision and engagement in the kinds of experiences and sharing of resources that will help us create the future.  Attendees will immerse themselves in conversations, case studies, discussion panels, and hand-on workshops bringing together Boston-based artists and national and international artists to create exchanges both theoretical and practical. 
The conference will be located in Boston’s historic theatre district, near Boston Commons and Public Garden, and hosted by Emerson College and Suffolk University with events also taking place in various locations around the city.
