Dramaturgy- Work with me
I am an experienced dramaturg and Script Consultant. I have worked for London Playwrights as a script consultant in New York and Chicago literary departments for four years. I am a reader for several playwriting competitions in the UK and North America. I can offer support at every stage of your scriptwriting.
Types of dramaturgy available:
Script Consulting- a read and full report of your script.
Dramaturgy sessions- online or in person, are a chance to discuss your script, sound out ideas, and ask questions.
Production dramaturgy- working with your production team ‘in the room’ for either R&D or full production.
Other ways of working can be figured out around your needs! Contact me for rates and availability.
