Is erasure “to scrape or rub out; to expunge, efface, obliterate?” What does erasure encompass?
The University of Arizona’s MFA Generative Dramaturgy inaugural cohort invites playwrights to submit proposals for 10-minute play projects responding to the concept, process, or effects of erasure.
Proposals may be a description of a concept, a short summary, or an explanation of your ideas and/or responses to the idea of erasure. We leave the interpretation up to you, but we’ve listed potential topics and material for inspiration.
Selected playwrights will work with graduate dramaturgs over the coming weeks to develop their plays from inceptive idea to complete script.
