So one of the things I worked on this past weekend, other than my Drama Guild report and rewriting The Albatross, was putting the final touches on the article about the work I did as a dramaturg on the devised show In the Belly of the Beast with Two Backs, an adaptation of Othello set in Storyville, New Orleans during the turn of the century. I presented on the ATHE Debut Dramaturg panel last summer (and got have a fun trip to NOLA and enjoy the conference, yippee!).
Oh, LMDA stands for Literary Managers & Dramaturgs of America. The answer to that follow-up question "What's a dramaturg" will be answered at a later time...
When it gets officially published, I'll post some excerpts of the article here...although I must warn you it is quite academic and dry...
But I love this picture from the show.

It's Rachel Scott as Aemilia and Alex Smith as Iago. Oooh, can you feel the dramatic tension, the conflict...Acting! Genius!!!
Actually, I just think they look so cool...like I totally would not want to mess with them in a dark alley, whether its Storyville or not...
