WHAT DOES DRAMATURGY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Dramaturgy

Dramaturgy is the art of dramatic composition and the representation of the main elements of drama on the stage. The word dramaturgy was coined by Gotthold Ephraim Lessing. Dramaturgy is a distinct practice separate from play writing and directing, although a single individual may perform any combination of the three. Some dramatists combine writing and dramaturgy when creating a drama. Others work with a specialist, called a dramaturg, to adapt a work for the stage. Dramaturgy may also be defined, more broadly, as shaping a story into a form that may be acted. Dramaturgy gives the work or the performance a structure. From 1767-1770 Lessing wrote and published a series of criticisms entitled the Hamburg Dramaturgy. These works analyzed, criticized and theorized the German theatre, and made Lessing the father of modern Dramaturgy. Another important work to the Western theatre tradition work is the Poetics by Aristotle. In this work Aristotle analyzes tragedy. He considers Oedipus Rex as the quintessential dramatic work.
