Ecodramaturgy

It also provides an example of what I have begun to call ecodramaturgy: that is, play-making (script development and production) that puts ecological reciprocity and community at the centre of its theatrical and thematic intent.

The first is the inauguration of a subset of ecocriticism termed ‘ecodramaturgy,’ a term coined by May and further developed by Arons and May.

Ecodramaturgy indicates not simply theatre about ecological issues, but theatre that takes up the challenge of the newly expanded frames of thinking entailed by the Anthropocene.
