Lou Cope - Dramaturg, Writer, Lecturer & Workshop Leader

This website is intended to give detail on the various strands of my work as a dramaturg, writer, lecturer, and workshop leader.

An interest in, and passion for, collaboration lies at the heart of all my work, and I now specialise in aiding, facilitating, teaching or writing about the slippery complexities of collaborative devising processes in both dance and theatre contexts.

For more information about any aspects of my work please contact me on lousteffescope@hotmail.com
