Dramaturgy Drop-In!

£0.00

Thursday, 4th June 2026

An all day Dramaturgy Clinic run by Second Brain, an experienced directorial and dramaturgical team who are ready to answer all your dramaturgical questions. Think Apple Store Genius Bar for Stories and Storytellers.

No matter your level of experience as a writer, you can drop in and work out the twists and turns of your story with full support.

Come down at any point in the day to co-write or meet with our experienced storytelling team to ask for advice or just have someone to bounce ideas off.

We are experienced and are able to speak from a range of experiences but we'd like to specifically invite writers from historically overlooked* communities to come down to the drop-in as often when talking about our stories to artistic institutions we find we are not speaking to people who share our lived experience and so find it hard to interrogate our work with any rigour.

* By our definition, historically overlooked communities are groups that were (and some continue to be) denied full participation in mainstream cultural, social, political, and economic activities. This can include Black people, people of colour, women, LGBTQIA+, low-income individuals, prisoners, the disabled, young people, senior citizens, and many more.

what the people say about working with second brain…

  • Liberating and challenging. A forensic ability to locate where a story needs to go

    Fehinti Balogun (BAFTA Nominated Actor)

  • They are great to work with and very encouraging.

    Cassie Leon (Cocoa Butter Club)

  • A whole week on since we finished at the Studio... And you were both so amazing. Your positive energy, sense of fun, but real incisiveness and commitment was something to cherish. I really loved being with you and so thank you thank you thank you. I mean it.

    Simon Harris (Lucid Theatre)

Our Team

Abi Falase

Táiyé

Táiyé is an interdisciplinary artist opening portals across theatre, literature and arts + heritage based in London. Interrogating the world through their lived experiences, centring the voices of historically overlooked communities is the golden thread that runs throughout their creative practice. Working intuitively, they use the elasticity of language and art to explore afro-futurity, intimacy and care.
Abi is a writer, director and thinker whose creative practice centres on the idea of collective liberation through creative expression, blending feel-good social realism with wit, humour, and poetry to interrogate societal constructs. Because if you don't laugh, you'll cry. Through their work, they create transformative, escapist work for audiences seeking both authenticity and mysticism.
