Ecodramaturgy
What is ecodramaturgy?
Ecodramaturgy is a critical framework I use for making and studying theatre. It encompasses environmental themes (broadly construed) and sustainable producing practices. As importantly, ecodramaturgy is an actively anti-racist, anti-sexist approach to theatre making that centers gender inclusivity, accessibility, and Indigeneity.
