Workshop
In this introductory workshop, Charlene Rajendran will work with participants to explore what it means to develop contextually based and culturally informed dramaturgy that might manifest among an Asian diaspora of practitioners in Aotearoa. It will offer ways to consider how dramaturgical thinking and doing occurs in relation to people, place and purpose.
