Dramaticon : Dramaturgy on Screen, Stage, and in Life

DRAMATICON — an author's method of dramaturgy developed by Rashid Nugmanov based on the study of systems from Aristotle to Hollywood and built on the psychology of human interaction in real life. The method is aimed at professionals in film,... theater, and television and will be useful for anyone looking to develop skills in goal-setting and problem-solving. Screenwriters will find detailed instructions in the book for writing a professional screenplay from a blank page to the final draft, its promotion in the film industry, teamwork, and building their own careers. Directors will be able to reassess their understanding of the principles of dramaturgy, without which it is impossible to work with actors and tell a coherent story on the big screen, while actors will expand their techniques for working on their roles. Producers will enrich their arsenal of tools for creating high-quality, competitive products, and general readers, far removed from the film and theater sphere, will understand how closely intertwined art and life are, and the laws of drama will help them answer the eternal question: what to do next?
The book is divided into three parts in strict accordance with the structure of any dramaturgical work, which was first formulated by Aristotle: beginning, middle, and end. In film and theater, such dramaturgical blocks are commonly referred to as acts, while in life they collectively form the complete life cycle of any phenomenon. Each part is divided into eight chapters, or .actions., which will allow the reader to explore all aspects of dramaturgy relevant to the corresponding act. Each chapter consists of four sections, or .phenomena.: AXIOMS, THEORY, PRACTICE, and ANSWERS to questions, which will help solidify the acquired knowledge in a simple, accessible form.
Will this book make you a genius of dramaturgy? No. It is exclusively your own task, a challenge only for you and no one else. But it will definitely help the genius within you to emerge.
