Job Summary
Company Three is looking for a Dramaturg to join our Flagship production, Unfinished Business.
Job Description
Unfinished Business will explore young people's 'unfinished stories'-whether personal, communal, or historical-through themes of hope, chance, and temporality. Together, we're asking: what happens if we could go back and make a different choice? Would the story, or history, change? The piece will also incorporate a loop pedal as a live tool for layering voices, sounds, and fragments-building and dismantling unfinished stories in real time.
For this call out, we want the creatives and crew to represent the cast members, and so we encourage people with any of the following identities to apply: London raised; White British; Arab; North African.
Fee: £880, calculated as 28 hours
Dates: 28 hours of work to meet with the director. Dates in 2026. Possibly: Reading first draft script and first meeting with Director early May (2 x half days) Reading second draft script mid-May (half day) Meeting with Director late-May (half day) Reading final draft script and meeting with Director early-June (full day) 2 half days when we are in rehearsals in August (w/c 17 Aug, 124 Aug, 31 Aug) - to be agreed. Shows - 2 to 5 Sept (Not required to attend)
Overview
We are looking for an experienced Dramaturg to support, encourage, and provoke the Director and co-creator, Mariana, to help her shape and structure the play co-created with our young people. We are currently in the devising stage and so the story and themes may change. We have a current cast of 9 young people, with 10 young people creating the show.
