• How did you approach the work of researching and analyzing the play?
• What moments of joy did you experience during this process?
• How did you adjust your goals in response to project needs?
• How did you overcome challenges that arose during the process?
• How did you navigate the relationship between your individual work and that of the rehearsals and/or design conferences?

4. Select, organize, and upload the materials that best represent your process and/or dramaturgical sensibility. These items may include emails, pictures of your display, screenshots of webpages, presentations, content shared with project participants or instructor, and/or videos.)

• Please Note: Although we have set a limit of 100 pages for these uploaded documents, we encourage you to focus on the quality and not quantity of the materials you select.

5. Write an introduction to the materials you have uploaded, briefly explaining why you created them for this project (150-250 words).

6. Write a brief statement (150-250 words) answering one of the following questions:

• Takeaways: How has this project helped you understand how to improve your dramaturgical work? What aspects of your work will you bring into your next project?
• Uniqueness: Where are you in this work? If someone else had dramaturged this production, how would it have been different?
• Impact: How did your individual participation affect the whole? (To address this aspect of your work, we encourage you to invite statements from collaborators who can speak to your intangible contributions.)
• Dramaturgical Vision: How does this project fit into your overall creative work and plans for the future?
