Dramaturg – Secret Sides of Us (Musical R&D)

Secret Sides of Us


Job Summary

We are looking for an experienced and collaborative Dramaturg with experience working on new musicals. They should have an understanding of working in an inclusive and accessible process and be passionate about working with Disabled and/or Neurodivergent Artists and as part of a co-creation process.

Job Description

The main focus of this second phase of R&D is the book, so the Dramaturg will play a pivotal role shaping the focus of the R&D with the Director. We are looking for someone to do a script analysis of the current draft and provide rigorous feedback to help shape what the aims and objectives should be for the week. The role includes reviewing a draft of the script before the workshop, supporting development during the process, and providing final reflections to help shape the next stage of the script.

Due to the nature of the work, we would like the Dramaturg to also work with the Co-Creators to ensure their feedback, stories and experiences feature in the text, so this will include a short zoom call with them in advance to discuss the role of a Dramaturg and hear about their thoughts on the script.

The fee for this role is £1250 plus relocation allowance.
This covers the R&D week (five days of seven hours) and four hours prep including reviewing the show material and meeting with the co-creators.
