About us
Drama Panorama is a project created by theater translators for theater translators. We are convinced that the best translation of a play cannot be created by computer alone. Through collaboration with playwright, director, dramaturg, and actors, the translation process is brought to life.
We seek to help translators to further study their art, meet with directors and dramaturgs, support each other, introduce each other to new plays and work on projects together.
We seek to be partners for theaters looking for new plays by offering them a platform for the translation of international plays and connecting them with translators.
Drama Panorama is founded by Barbora Schnelle and Antje Oegel.
