Dramaturg.

Throughout my Masters, various residency experiences and my role as an assessor for the Theatre Council of Tasmania, I have developed a keen interest in dramaturgical and feedback processes that nurture artists toward the best possible outcome for their work.

Please contact whocann@gmail.com to get in touch about possible dramaturgical support for your project.
