Our Aims
The aims of the network and a brief summary of how we work towards them.
The Dramaturgs’ Network has four broad aims which direct our activities:
Aim 1 - To provide a network of support, shared ideas, knowledge and resources for British theatre practitioners functioning in the roles of dramaturg, literary managers or educational professionals involved in dramaturgical practices.
Aim 2 – To explore the role, function and contributions of dramaturgs in the theatre process through practice, debate and collaborations.
Aim 3 – To cultivate, develop and disseminate current dramaturgical practices.
Aim 4 - To promote collaborative work practices involving dramaturgs by providing support and information to theatre practitioners and organisations engaging dramaturgs.
We will achieve this by:
- Bringing together dramaturgs, literary managers, script editors, educational and teaching professionals, researchers and others with similar interests.
- Providing support and share information and experiences amongst our members and others on professional issues around our practice.
- Providing support, accessible information, resources and advice to people wanting to find out about working with, employing or training dramaturgs.
- Organising events for dramaturgs to promote Continual Professional Development.
- Continually striving to promote, cultivate and develop the role and the functions of the dramaturg in the UK.
- Arranging symposia and workshops around all aspects on the theory and practice of dramaturgy.
- Providing access to information and an interactive discussion forum on the internet.
- Acting as a hub for collating relevant resources brought together by our members and other relevant professionals.
- Collaborating with teaching and educational institutions where dramaturgy is taught.
- Endeavouring to support members in finding work opportunities.
