dramaturge

Dramaturges read new plays and works and propose them to the stage director and/or art council of a theatre. They gather documentation on the work, author, problems addressed, times and described environments. They also participate in the analysis of themes, characters, dramatic construction, etc.

The most in-demand skills for this role include analyse theatre texts, develop drama production process, do historical research, understand the emotional dimension of a performance, analyse the scenography, familiarise with personal directing styles. These are the skills O*NET identifies as most important for competent performance.

Our AI-durability model gives dramaturge a score of 0.50 on a 0-1 scale (higher = more exposure). That places it at moderate AI exposure — some tasks are being automated but the role adapts. Learning to work with AI tools rather than against them is the path forward.
