Dramaturgy of Performing Science

<p>This is a concise survey of new play projects that bring together the worlds of science and performance and the benefits that dramaturgical praxis can bring to both disciplines.</p><p>Three approaches common to both performance and science – collaboration experimentation and interpretation – are reflected in a series of case studies that demonstrate the ways in which dramaturgical tools can inform the wider public about scientific knowledge and practice provide a truly reciprocal model of co-operation in collaboration that happens early on in the research process and inspire the creation of new dramatic forms that enact rather than translate the dynamics of scientific research.</p><p>Part of the <i>Routledge Focus on Dramaturgy</i> series this is a vital account of collaborative work for scholars and practitioners of theatre and performance as well as readers across the sciences.</p>
