DRAMATURG APPRECIATION POST

Y'all Dramaturgs are so dang nifty! Like, do they research? Write? Direct? Who knows! Nobody can decide so they turn into little nerdy awesome-goblins and do ALL OF IT!! OMG it's such a cool job!! You simply BECOME the script!!! More to follow, such a cool nerdy thing!

ID under the cut! I moved it there because this one is v long and my ID’s turn into mini-fics anyway

ID: Photo 1: Anonymous asks “bae are there,,,,, any other fusions👀”

Photo 2: The Dramaturg is standing against a white background, because he is well aware that the artist will be drawing more panels than usual and doesn’t want to complicate the scene. His hair is up in space buns, with small parts curling off the buns, and a headset over one ear. He is wearing a long light-pink cloak that is stained with paint and has David’s waves as well as Marlowe’s ribbon on both arms. Beneath, he is wearing a dark red sweater and a collared shirt beneath that. He has four arms, and the top left arm waves, while the top right arm is pressed down. His bottom left arm holds a clipboard while his bottom right hand holds the pen. He waves excitedly at the camera, starring directly at it with one green eye and one brown eye. The Dramaturg says “Hello! It’s lovely to meet y’all!” In a quieter voice, he adds, “sorry for being asleep last time” and trails off.

Photo 3: The Dramaturg puts his pen in his hair and reaches up with his top left arm. He points up with the top right arm, as if thinking. The Dramaturg says “We haven’t found every combo yet, but there’re a few I can introduce you to!”

Photo 4: The Dramaturg pulls a screen down from the top and winks at the camera, holding the clipboard with both bottom hands now. He shrugs at the camera with a smile. “Technically, I also haven’t met any of David and Marlowe’s other fusions, too.”

Photo 5: The image shifts to focus on the screen that The Dramaturg pulled down. His top right arm is in frame, with a pointer, and he points at the screen. There are two busts on the screen. The first is a man with light brown skin and a long face with pronounced cheekbones, hair straight and pulled back with a golden hairband. His black hair is long, going straight down his back, with lighter brown accents. He has magenta lipstick and large gold earrings, in the shape of hanging hearts. One of his eyes is light pink while the other is forest green. He faces toward the left, though he’s starring at the camera. The second bust is a man wearing a leather jacket, face fuller and more stout. He has sunglasses on that cover his three eyes. He also has an undercut, and the top part of his black hair is pulled back into a bun. He’s smirking, turned right though you can’t see where he’s looking. The Dramaturg says “I’ve heard some of them are pretty cool.” 

Photo 6: The screen shows two different busts. One is of a person with darker brown skin, curly hair pulled up by a tie dye hair tie. They smile serenely at the camera, eyes brown with pink hearts in the iris, and what looks like scars on their cheeks and across the bridge of their nose are actually eyes. They have small heart earrings, too, and are wearing a dark pink turtleneck. The second person is more childish, grinning at the camera though he’s looking up, with tanned skin and a scar on his cheek. His eyes are bright gold and he has messy short black hair, wearing a darker yellow bandana around his neck. The Dramaturg’s pointer is not in frame, and he says “Parent is fairly common, and Fortitude is Gavin’s most stable fusion.” 

Photo 7: The image zooms out again, showing the Dramaturg standing besides the screen, which is blank. He looks up, one of his hands pressing a finger to his lip in thought. His bottom right hand holds the clipboard while his top left hand, which had been holding the pointer, lowers it. His bottom left arm, though, is hugging his top left arm tight. The Dramaturg says “I’ve also met” and trails off. 

Photo 8: The Dramaturg says, “Him.” The Dramaturg is starring worriedly into the distance, irises small, brow pinched in fear. His arms all tuck closer to himself, pointer pointing up, hugging a little tighter. On the screen, the image goes darker, and the figure of another person is visible. He has antlers sticking out of his head, dark black hair hanging off parts of the antlers while also coiling down from his head. His back is toward the screen, though he’s looking over his shoulder at the camera, one single red eye glinting ferociously. He has brown scales trailing from the antlers down his face, though his skin itself looks pale.

picky thing! the stage manager for my current show groups the dramaturg team with ‘crew’ rather than ‘production team’ and I’m a little insulted? nothing against crew, mad respect and I love doing tech, but dramaturgy isn’t tech! I’m worried about not getting told when production meetings are 😬

EDIT also wtf I have no clue if/how I should bring this up bc I’ll sound like a whiny pretentious bastard!

[inara-sensei]

Sometimes I wonder what my role in theatre is, where I fit. As a playwright and dramaturg, I often feel like I’m an extra, existing and trying to make an impact but contributing nothing to the gift of my craft. Worse, I feel like people don’t know what to make of me in my community. Like, I do stuff, but what?

Does anybody else feel like that?

manuscript reading services

i finally put together a website for myself as a way to start seeking works to read and comment on. i’m a recent graduate of a Creative Writing program, a less recent graduate of a Dramaturgy program, and I am very much familiar with giving feedback in and out of workshop settings.

what i’m offering. A thorough read of your manuscript, a collecting of written notes (other options, such as an audio recording, are available), and (where possible) an in-person, Skype, or phone-based conversation about the work. 

what i’ll read. Playscripts, essays, stories, or most anything you'd like. I'm especially familiar with playscripts and genre-bending nonfiction essays, but chances are I'll be glad and prepared to read anything you send me.

timespan. The amount of time it'll take me to read and respond to your manuscript will depend on the length of your manuscript. My aim is to send your notes within a week, but I in some cases I may take as long as two weeks.

cost. I do need some monies in order to read your manuscript, but we can discuss what seems reasonable for your work. Send me an e-mail at [email protected] to discuss pricing.

process. Follow this link for information on the submission process, including the submission survey that will help me read the work in a way best suiting you. Follow this link for information on the post-submission process.

why choose me? Because I'm here. Because I'm super-ultra-excited to read your work. Because I enjoy sharing lengthy, detailed, and deeply thought responses to what I read. Because I'm happy to read with a focus on areas and concerns of your choice. Because I'm a sad little dramaturg slash writer with no manuscripts to read, and your work would bring light to my life. 

want to chat beforehand? you may not feel comfortable jumping in an giving your manuscript to a complete stranger. that's totally understandable. if you'd like, feel free to e-mail me ([email protected]) or send me a tumblr message and let me know you're potentially interested but not yet read to submit. we can chat a bit, you can get a sense of whether i'm right for your manuscript. we can also chat about such matters as price, what you're looking for from my read, etc.

check out the website at this link for more information, and again, feel free to e-mail or message me with any questions you might have!

(also, if you-all don’t mind, i could use a signal boost on this. you will have my forever grateful.)
