The National Theatre of Scotland's creative cultural leader Fellowship programme is designed to support creatives to experiment, be bold, brave and take creative risks within a supportive environment.

Over 18 months, the Dramaturgy Fellow will be part of the Artistic Development department where they will develop their skills in Dramaturgy, and will be embedded in artistic decision-making practices and processes across the organisation.

Each Fellow will be given dedicated time to design and deliver projects within NTS. They will also have supported time for their own research project which explores change-making.* Their research project could be something new they want to explore, or it could be about having supported time to develop a change-making project they have recently started doing personally.

During the programme there will be regular check-ins with the Head of HR, focussed on the personal goals of the Fellows as well as meetings with the wider Fellows cohort. The Fellows will be supported to build new relationships with key partners and further opportunities within the sector will be identified post fellowship.
