In this introduction to practical dramaturgy and literary management, Frank Peschier will share her tips on approaching theatres, producers and navigating open submission and prizes. She will discuss how companies like Headlong seek out new work, and what they are looking for to help unlock new opportunities. We will clarify the nuts and bolts of commissioning, the wonderful world of contracts, adaptations, rights and royalties. Through writing exercises and discussion, we will also explore the art of dramaturgy and its pivotal role in shaping your work to be the best it can be.
