Summary/Abstract: The overlapping forms of contemporary theatre and performance have created significant opportunities for innovation and new discourse which poses questions related to aesthetics and (post)dramatic concerns. How can we describe and characterize this artistic and theoretical knowledge? What are the main challenges, topics and strategies in artistic research and acting/performing? This essay is an attempt to map some essential fields in the (post-)dramatic landscape – including new forms of (post-) dramaturgical thinking and the shifting understanding of (collective) authorship. The following aspects are of particular interest, especially in relation to artistic training practice: appearance, authenticity, representational criticism, authorship, play development, (social) participation, digitization, cross gender acting.
