Dramaturgy is the art of dramatic composition, along with the main elements of drama displayed on the stage. The term was coined by Gotthold Ephraim Lessing.
Dramaturgy is important because it gives structure, context and meaning to a play. A dramaturg assists a director with artistic advice.
Dramaturgy can be used to shape interactions on an everyday level. By means of performance analysis and contextual frameworks dramaturgy allows us to understand, intervene and influence everyday actions on a micro and macro level.
A dramaturg gives feedback to a director. Dramaturgy gives a theoretical framework to a theatre piece. It puts content into a context.
Gottfried Ephraim Lessing was to first to write a book on dramaturgy, 'Hamburgische dramaturgie'. It was the first book that describes the practice of dramaturgy in theatre.
