The ETC Drama Committee

The ETC Drama Committee focuses on introducing European audiences to brilliant new playwrights from all over Europe.

It has the following objectives:

• Highlight European contemporary playwrights and their work
• Create a pool of interesting contemporary texts for ETC Members
• Support the international trajectory of text-based theatre plays through translation

Representatives from within the ETC network jointly explore new dramatic writing in Europe and create new opportunities for contemporary playwrights, by collaborating with their time and expertise with the ETC Team, increasing the circulation of new works through the awarding of translation grants and facilitating participatory readings and discussion with authors during ETC Conferences.
