I work as a scriptwriter, director and dramaturge within theater, film and TV. One of my specialties is script development, and I'm available to consult on any type of script. Since my days in playwright school, I've been driven to understand what makes drama work. My approach differs from most, as I try to reach a more fundamental understanding of a script before I give any kind of notes or advice. Often I will ask more questions than give answers. Fees are posted further down in this column.
INTRO: WHAT IS THIS DRAMA-THING?
”With certainty there are laws for drama, as it is an art-form; but it is uncertain in what they consist” – Pierre Corneille, french playwright.
This has mainly been written to develop a greater understanding of the principles of drama and how to apply them when you create a script for one of the dramatic media – the original live theater and the younger electronic brethren, film, radio or TV. Read full intro
A read and feedback – 1200 d.Kr./160 € This is if you want a quick evaluation of your script. You mail it, I read and write back with my feedback.
A read, dialogue and feedback – 2000 d.Kr./270 € A bit more extensive, as we will have a 2 round dialogue about your script. I read, mail you some questions about the script, you answer, I read again and give you a feedback.
Additional rounds of dialogue – 800 d.Kr./110 € After I have read once, you can later ask for a new round of dialogue, as long as the script hasn't changed drastically. I read and respond with further questions or suggestions.
I work with scripts for film, TV and theater and with directing theater. I am available as both writer, consultant and teacher. If you are interested in working with me you are always welcome to drop a line. I believe I have something extraordinary to offer when it comes to scripts and to directing theater - and so do most of the people I have worked with.
