Dramaturgy
care-principled
practice-driven
audience-conscious
I think of dramaturgy as being with – being with the topics and questions a research or project deals with, accompanying them towards their becoming as an artistic practice or a piece. Crucial to my dramaturgical work is a practice of cartography: Situating the research/ project within a landscape of discourse, histories, visions, and hopes. All my dramaturgical work is driven by principles of care – towards the research/ project at hand, the artists involved, the context and environment it falls in, as well as the audiences it addresses and receives.

over seven months, Gropius Bau becomes a space for Grupo Oito’s artistic explorations, where movement, materials, sound, and discussion come together in an evolving assemblage that rethinks connection and touch in times of distance
in an assemblage of improvisation, live music, and live video art, Grupo Oito negotiates borders and boundaries in a constant act of balance
Looking for a dramaturg?
Each process is unique and hence requires a conversation on needs, expectations, and resources before entering a collaboration. Based on former collaborations, the work packages below are most often requested:
– production dramaturgy
– new piece development (from first ideas to making a piece)
– research
– concept development + writing
– feedback sessions/ „outside eye“
– development of encounters with the audience
I base my work on the specific needs of a project and I’m interested in finding out together how to accommodate my dramaturgical experience to best fit the situation.
