The Didascalic Imagination: Contemporary theatrical notebooks as genetic documents of the artistic process.

The topic of this research project concerns the contemporary versions of the Regiebuch, or the 'director's notes'. In contemporary theatre, the classic theatrical notebook has disappeared together with the classic dramatic source text. A wide range of new forms of theatrical notebooks has filled that void, ranging from conceptual notes and sketches to a rich diversity of formats borrowed from other fields, such as scores, storyboards, sound tracks and video editing.
