Abstract

Dramaturgy has begun to a gain a place in the North American dance community and, slowly, in university dance programs. For at least a decade, dance dramaturgy has been a regular topic of conversation at annual meetings of the Literary Managers and Dramaturgs of the Americas (LMDA), which gave a 2006 residency grant to Nichole Grantshar to work on Atlanta Ballet’s 2007 production of The Great Gatsby. European contemporary dance choreographers have embraced dance dramaturgy for years. Andre Lepecki, who has dramaturged work by European choreographers like Meg Stuart, teaches dance dramaturgy as part of his dramaturgy course in New York University’s Performance Studies graduate program. Beginning in 2008, Toronto’s York University, a perennial leader in dance studies, began an MFA in dance, with a specialization in dramaturgy.
