TESTIMONIALS

"Over the past year, Emma Churchland has lent her dramaturgical skills to two of Verum Arts’ scripts. Both times, she made the process super easy for us with her kind personality, prompt communication, and honest and useful feedback that directly benefited the scripts and ultimately the outcome of the productions.

For us, it was really helpful to work with someone who is so kind and understanding. She is particularly passionate about new works and always shares her criticism in a considerate manner. When we reached out to Emma about our current project Credulous, it was during a particularly busy period for her. Despite this, she made time in her schedule to read the script and dramaturg for us. Due to the fast-paced nature of this industry, Emma’s quick replies and turn around time helped us to stick to our schedule. For a small company like ours, this meant a lot and showed her enthusiasm and willingness to support emerging artists. 

After sending her our script and some areas of focus, she meticulously worked through it, commenting on Plot Clarity and Structure, Concept Engagement, Moments of Confusion, Character Development and Dialogue, Themes and Social Commentary and Impressions on the Ending and offered us many Recommendations and Improvements. She provided us with a professional perspective that honoured our vision for the show while still offering constructive criticism to elevate the work.

Working with Emma has been fantastic and we thoroughly respect her generosity and reliability. We’ve had an immensely smooth experience with her and highly recommend working with her as we will be again."
