Dramaturgies in the New Millennium brings together original contributions on the topic of dramaturgy in contemporary theatre and performance practices, both from renowned international scholars as well as from emerging academics. Rather than offering a comprehensive overview of dramaturgical practices in the new millennium, the volume maps out possible routes for the (near) future of dramaturgy as a concept and as a practice. Consequently, the volume is built up around three main topics: the shifting historical and economic conditions of dramaturgy, dramaturgy's facilitation of encounters, and the politics of perception and movement in dramaturgical practices.
