DRAMATURG SERVICE

Jack is available to provide his dramaturg services for writers, directors, choreographers, and theatre makers.

We see dramaturgy as the thread that holds together the total experience of live performance. The dramaturg protects the maker’s intentions whilst simultaneously provoking them to offer the most outward and unanswerable question possible to the audience.

Whether it’s a new piece of writing, devised work, dance piece, or something boundary-less, a dramaturg can be an essential collaborator to strengthen the foundation and execution of your show.

Jack's strenghts lie in:

Galvanising artists with questions that provoke and test an idea with critical rigour.
Defining and specifying a work’s proposition to the audience.
Script reading with a fine-tooth comb for pockets of deeper investigation.
Being a kind ear who can interrogate your work to find new invigoration and inspiration to keep going.
Addressing the realisation of your work at whatever stage that might be with signposting to help your project become realised.

Get in touch if:

You’re at the early stage of an idea that you want talking through.
You’re forming a team of collaborators and want a dramaturg.
You’re seeking to create interruptions in form and storytelling.
You need help getting out of a bind with the artistic direction of your work.
None of the above applies but you still want to get in touch!
