What is Dramaturgy?

My name is Belle Frahm, and I was the dramaturg on BYU's Art in Motion. As a dramaturg, I work to establish the context of the world of the show, as well as engage the audience within it. 

This can be seen in the lobby display, the digital program study guide, the website that you're on right now, and more! I have learned so much from the research that I did on these remarkable artists featured in the show. 

While I normally work within the theatre department, dramaturgy can span all forms of art. Click the button below to read an article I wrote about these artists and to see more dramaturgy work done by students here at BYU!
