Dramaturgy

I am actively building my experience as a dramaturg. 

I am currently offering 2 dramaturgical discussions free of charge in exchange for a testimonial I can use on my website or in other promotional material. If you would like to explore options or schedule a meeting, please get in touch.

I am particularly interested in working with new writing, especially work which focuses on LGBTQ+ and/or Disabled stories and artists.

Dramaturgical discussions could focus on the general development of an idea, some detailed script or idea development feedback or more bespoke development for a piece. I am flexible depending on what you want to achieve and what you would find most useful at this stage. I am happy to schedule an initial meeting (up to 2 hours) and follow up with some additional email feedback. 

Current dramaturgy project 

I’m currently working with Emma Astra on her first play inspired by the working-class activism that flourished in 1970s Leicester. 

Testimonial:

‘It was a pleasure to work with Lynsey on their Next Level Award. They bring nuanced analysis to pieces of written reporting and an astute, generous attitude to the discussion of craft, both qualities that I know make for excellent collaborators. I’m excited to see what work they help to bring into the world next.’
