Dramaturg Nadia Townsend (Mad Max Fury Road, Thor: Love and Thunder): Creating the War Boys, Finding Character Through Action, Asking Bigger Questions

Nadia Townsend is a dramaturg known for her work on Mad Max: Fury Road and Thor: Love and Thunder. On her website she writes that "dramaturgy is the study of dramatic composition. Dramaturg literally means drama worker, a title more often found in the theatre. As a film dramaturg I ‘work the drama’ through the rehearsal process. It is neither, director, writer, nor acting teacher, but rather a role which works with the essential elements of the narrative and gets all the players on the same page."
