- PAY-WHAT-YOU-CAN DRAMATURGY
Dramaturgical analysis is crucial to the life of any performing arts piece and can be incredibly expensive and inaccessible. So, we want to remove a barrier that often stops artists from taking this next step.
​
Dramaturgy is the practice of providing editorial and critical feedback to a performance piece to improve and develop the work. Our dramaturgy, provided by artistic director el waddingham is honest, collaborative, considerate and provoking. They will give you written feedback, notes to improve on and questions to help you develop your understanding of your work, and they are always down for a coffee, virtual or in person, to discuss face-to-face how they can help your work to bloom.
​
All pieces will receive the same amount of feedback and development regardless of how much is paid to us. This is a true pay-what-you-can scheme. If you have $2 left in your budget for dramaturgy, or $200, or nothing at all, we want to work with you. Contact us and we will send you a form to fill out that will help us to gain an understanding of your piece, your style and authorial voice, wants and needs, hopes and fears for your work and the level of completion your work is currently at.
