Dramaturgical Project Proposal Guidelines
Please draft a single-spaced two page
Request for Proposal (RFP) for your Dramaturgical Project.
Include the following:
Paragraph One: OVERVIEW
This is an introduction and overview of what you want to accomplish and why. Identify the nature of the endeavor you seek to accomplish in the research.
Paragraph Two: WHAT and WHY
Provide a background to the work you are doing. For example: if you are working on Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing, identify the history of production the play has enjoyed, including the year it was written, the first production, and how it was received. If you are developing a study guide approach to the play, include any and all information carefully categorized and labeled on William Shakespeare, the Elizabethan/Jacobean eras, themes, literary categories (tragedy, comedy, problem plays, etc.) and performance traditions. Additional written essays or lists should include the relevant research topics that fill in the production, whether it is postmodernism as it is informing the concept, or scenic design and the selection of a ruling metaphor, or the thematics that provide substance to the message of the play.
If you are writing a research paper, generate a resource list of books, articles, and ethnographic jottings (CMS). If you anticipate doing Verbatim Theatre (Anna Deveare Smith) that will generate performance text based off of case studies or interviews, identify how you will select your sample, provide the questions you will ask, and how you will document the work (taped recordings, emails, etc.). Additionally, provide any supplemental documentation; for instance: if you have generated a contract for the interviews for each respondent to sign. Please include if you have it completed.
Paragraph Three: WHO
List the individuals involved and how you will work with them in order to accomplish your project goals. If you are doing archival, data and/or textual research include a bibliography.
Paragraph Four: MAP and CALENDAR
In particular, note the specifics of how you envision the map of your strategic plan to be followed while accomplishing the work for the Performance Salon Project. Set up a calendar, list of activities, and a map for proposed actions in sequence to accomplish, as well as a debriefing protocol that makes sense to you.
Paragraph Five: GOALS(S) and PRAXICAL ASSESSMENT
State your end goal and how you will measure your own success.
Provide a working Bibliography of resources (CMS).
