"Lenora Inez Brown's The Art of Active Dramaturgy blazed new trails for theater practitioners by showing how dramaturgs can contribute to all phases of performance creation--not as mere helpers, but as full-scale collaborators. In this book she takes the proactive next step, providing dynamic methods of catalyzing rehearsal and workshop processes in addition to taking on special issues peculiar to our time. If Ms. Brown's first book is a dramaturgy primer, this companion volume is graduate school at its most useful." --Mead K. Hunter, Artistic Director, The New Harmony Project
