Dramaturgy and The Mosaic Scale

The Mosaic Scale is a five-step system that enables dramaturgs, writers and theatre-makers to ask questions of the creative process, develop ideas & make decisions. The system is akin to a mosaic building approach, designed to create and refine the bigger picture of a production.

In this practical online workshop, Emily LeQuesne will introduce these five steps and share exercises that can be applied dramaturgically by script writers and devised theatre-makers.

Participants will explore the dramaturgy of collaborative theatre-making and script writing, the demands of specific spaces and audiences, approaches to the uncanny in performance, and approaches to both the uncanny and the visceral in performance.

Emily LeQuesne is dramaturg for scripts, collaborative theatre & puppetry. She holds a PhD in writing & dramaturgy for puppet theatre. A devised theatre maker and facilitator for over 20 years, she has made work in professional, educational & community settings in human theatre.…
