Our team

I have been working as a chief-dramaturg with this theatre company for six years. During this time I developed my own methodology of teaching drama a neurodiverse audience. Some of our neurodiverse actors began a playwright career in this laboratory. Now this plays staged in theatres and read in playwright’s festivals.
