Dramaturg · Stage & Screen

Fatima Serghini is a London-based dramaturg and host working across stage, screen and audio.

Her practice moves fluidly between forms, shaped by long-form thinking and close collaboration. She is drawn to work that resists simplification, material that holds cultural specificity, lived contradiction and formal ambition without needing to announce itself.
She began her career within writers’ rooms and script-development contexts, including work with Complete Fiction/Netflix and Stockroom, formerly known as Out of Joint. Her experience also includes literary reading and new-writing development with Theatre503.  
Her dramaturgical work has accompanied new writing for theatre and screen, including collaborations with award-winning playwrights and filmmakers. Much of this work sits just behind the visible surface of a project and is embedded within development.
Alongside dramaturgy, she hosts and moderates public conversations with artists across theatre and film, including post-show and post-screening discussions.  
Her own writing is currently in development alongside her dramaturgical practice. Drawing on family history, North African heritage and diasporic memory, it is concerned with intimacy, transmission and the politics of voice.
Fatima is a graduate of RADA, Birkbeck and the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, having begun her creative training at the BRIT School. She continued her writing and screenwriting development with Curtis Brown Creative and the National Film and Television School, with support from All3Media.
