In celebration of the inaugural dramaturgs' network Fellowship, our recipient Flo Dessau has collaborated with members of the d’n board to shape a free public gathering on Tuesday 26 November, 6 - 8pm, at the Unicorn Theatre (London).

 

Central to the event, titled Dramaturgies of Translation: A Public Dialogue, is a discussion: how translation – whether across languages or mediums – affects the form, structure or cultural integrity of a work. It will use the long-table format designed by performance-maker Lois Weaver to ensure that ideas, knowledge and thinking can be shared by everyone in the room. 

 

Three additional invited speakers will help steer the conversation: author and academic Margherita Laera, whose works include Theatre & Translation (2019); director Sam Pritchard, who led the Royal Court’s International Programme until its closure in 2024; and multi-disciplinary artist and hearing actor who uses BSL, Charmaine Wombwell.

 

Snacks (including vegan and gluten-free) and non-alcoholic drinks will be available. The Unicorn is wheelchair accessible and the discussion will be BSL-interpreted.

​

Tickets are free but limited - please RSVP to confirm your place. We look forward to seeing you there!
