Hello everyone, if you have a spare moment, please sign the online petition to protest the threatened closure of South Street Arts Centre in Reading. It's a brilliant venue with an inspiring programme. Its closure would be a huge loss.

Like Kelly, I would think a writing mentor focuses on process and a dramaturg on product but I can't see how either discipline could ever be totally discrete.

I suppose for me the difference is a Mentor is  to support the writer and help progress them, whereas A Dramaturg's role is to help progress the work and support the script/story. 

There was this news clip recently about the role of a Dramaturg, on BBC - I'll try and find the link :)

I hope not!

Surely a writing mentor (never heard the term before) is one who mentors a writer/writers. There isn't any mentoring implicit in the Dramaturg's role (unless one is said to be mentoring the script/narrative/story - which sounds a wee bit arch to say the least) although a dramaturg may well be asked to 'mentor' another, as might any member of the creative/production team.

I could be wrong, but if so then we're all going to hell in a jargon-infested (and illiterate) handcart.

For what it's worth!

Hi Writers, I know we've had this discussion before but its raised its ugly head again - is a writing mentor the same as a dramaturg - if not what are the differences? let us know as we're having a big debate about it...

Hi everyone,

Two more nights at Chapter for Bara Bread before the tour, the play has bedded in and the superb all female cast bring the world of Lovenny to life. Its a play about real women in a real world with all their flaws and merits with a little splash of theatrical magic. Be great to see some fellow NTW community members there.

Now first night nerves have passes something very special happened last night, audiences smiled all the way through and they went on the journey that is Bara Bread.

As I sat the audience and the play finished I heard a voice saying 'Marvelous'.
