The International Dramaturgy Lab (IDL) connected over 90 dramaturgs and theatre makers from 7 different partner organizations across the globe. It hosted 14 groups put together across language, culture and timezones to share, explore, create and innovate. The theme and the practice was to “work dramaturgically across borders”. The project was successful beyond expectations. Reflecting back on the experience and the importance of supporting and nurturing cross-border contacts between dramaturgs, we also look to the future to see how we build on this extraordinary journey. Members of the steering group who shaped, facilitated and made the IDL happen will share the journey, the learnings and the inspirations.




Literary Managers and Dramaturgs of the Americas presents Without Borders: Dramaturgy in the New Decade / Sin Fronteras: Dramaturgismo en la Nueva Década livestreaming on the global, commons-based, peer produced HowlRound TV network at howlround.tv on Thursday 17 June and Friday 18 June 2021.

LMDA’s mission with this ground-breaking gathering is to ignite a global conversation about the impact / purpose / process / evolution of dramaturgy in the new decade. This conference will ask participants to examine how dramaturgy lives, breathes, and changes during/after the social, political, and economical adjustments that COVID-19 has brought to our lives.

This project is supported in part by an award from National Endowments for the Arts.

The in-person conference in Mexico City is supported in part by Coordinación Nacional de Teatro of the Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes y Literatura (INBAL).
