Having a dramaturg definitely clarifies so much of the world and there is no play without a dramaturg.

The dramaturg can also be the outside eye or what I learnt as being the friend of the play.

So someone who is not necessarily as immersed as the performers, designers, director, stage manager, but can advocate for all of those areas and just be a friend of those areas and make sure things kind of meet together conceptually and provide a solid container for everything to be able to interact together based on research.

In fact, every dramaturgy student at DGSD is required to possess a sound reading knowledge of another language.

We actually just submitted our translations of plays into English.

There's some occasions where translation allows word for word.

And there's some instances where a translation really needs one to like change the whole language.

context maybe so that it will land the same.
