Pask as dramaturg

Abstract

Abstract Abstract ‐ “Drama” derives its meaning from the Greek “dran” [delta‐roe‐alpha‐nu], “to act, to do” and, in so many ways, Pask has always been about acting and the “dramatic”[1]. When I say acting I do not want only to refer to Pask's performances ‐ lecturer, researcher, client‐dazzler, theatrical impresario or human being, all of which are intertwined and usually indistinguishable. When I say dramatic I do not want only to suggest an effective and memorable personality ‐ no one forgets Pask, though most profess (often disingenuously) that they “didn't understand him.” To remember him is to understand him, in so many important ways. No, standing before you I could convince you that the very core of his approach to human learning and performance is that of Dramaturg, the Maker of Drama. Here, in prose, I can only outline what in life is the indescribable experience of The Pask's work.
