You're not alone. Let's figure it out together.

dramaturgy for narrative & music

I'm here to

champion your story
dive deep into details
zoom out and describe the big picture
ask a thousand beautiful questions
help kill those darlings compassionately
diagnose where reality doesn't match vision
offer notes, prompts, & actionable tools

This can look a lot of different ways!

Here are some examples...

for an ensemble who are crafting
a collaborative improvisatory opera

"Your help has been invaluable.
We reached a clarity we’ve never before attained."
 
~ Kitty Brazelton, composer & translator


"Cecelia is indispensable as a dramaturg. Her ability to crystallize all the layers of a theatrical text along with considering the perspectives of her creative team into a singular vision makes her a fabulous colleague."

~ Jens Ibsen, composer

Making art in our dystopia is hard. 
Especially for those of us who've been historically marginalized. 

If you can't afford dramaturgy, please reach out anyway. 

I'm committed to making it accessible. 

I also sneak dramaturgy into the corporate world as a creative consultant on Upwork.
