Our new Drama Lab 2025 authors!
Out of anonymous 124 submissions the jury chose four authors for this years’ Drama Lab 2025. We are very much looking forward to working together with Renate Aichinger, Eva Bormann, Judith Humer und Xaver Schumacher!
Their first drafts were promising and full of feminist, poetic, political and humorous power. We are eager to see the development of their texts and the final results on stage!

With a network of 10 countries and 15 organizations active in the field of theatre and dramaturgy, located in all the European regions including the Western Balkans, NEW VOICES will develop a new methodology to sustain and train a new generation of playwrights, putting dramaturgy into the spotlight, removing the barriers to the profession and integrating digital tools and results in the creation process.
