The Dramaturge imposes clarity on something that needs to be unclear; that needs to be a mess. The Dramaturge becomes a ‘second guesser’ in their pursuit of clarity. Second guessing is dangerous to creativity; creativity relies on free impulse. The Dramaturge impedes free impulse; they ‘hum,’ they ‘hah,’ they wax poetic on bullshit, and while they do this the creative impulse dies in memos.
