FTA Clinics: The Book

This year, the FTA Clinics are taking a break to make way for a manual of applied dramaturgy inspired by the transnational Clinic experience: Curieux manuel de dramaturgie pour le théâtre, la danse et autres matières à changement.

This unique work encompasses all aspects of dramaturgy: from the living structure of a show to the multiple dimensions that comprise it and hold it together. The book presents around 40 voices from four continents, who share an impressive array of approaches, practices, ideas, stories, and accounts of the creative process. The Curieux manuel de dramaturgie pour le théâtre, la danse et autres matières à changement is designed for artists, creators, students, teachers, and all lovers of the performing arts.

Featuring readings of excerpts from the book, this festive event is an invitation to celebrate the vibrant world of artistic practices and methods.

Available in bookshops on September 4, 2024
