About
Fatima Serghini is a London-based dramaturg working across stage and screen, collaborating with playwrights, filmmakers, and creative teams to shape stories that pulse with emotional truth. With experience in writers’ rooms at Stockroom, Complete Fiction and Netflix, she bridges the cinematic and the theatrical, guiding texts from first draft to performance.
She has served for several years as a Literary Reader at Theatre503, supporting new voices through script assessment, open submissions, and international playwriting initiatives. Her dramaturgy is rooted in new writing, offering structural guidance, contextual research, and creative support that nurtures both voice and vision.
Her collaborations span a wide range of companies including Tamasha Theatre, Bush Theatre, Pleasance, Graeae, Battersea Arts Centre, Criterion Theatre, Theatre Deli, Vaults, Southwark Playhouse, Gate Theatre, Young Vic, Birds of Feather Theatre Company and Pitlochry Festival Theatre. She is also actively involved in artist-led projects supported by Arts Council England, and is currently collaborating with both playwrights and screenwriters on commissioned new work.
Alongside her dramaturgical practice, Fatima regularly hosts Q&As and industry conversations, facilitating dialogue with Oscar and BAFTA-winning filmmakers and acclaimed playwrights. Her recent appearances include events with BAFTA, The Garden Cinema, Soho House, WFTV, Universal Music, MsMono Production, Picturehouse, London Film Academy, Bush Theatre, Central School of Speech & Drama, RADA, NFTS, Creative Access, the House of Commons and the House of Lords.
Fatima is one of the eight inaugural artists selected for Soho Theatre’s Makers’ Lab (2025–26). She is also a proud member of the British Arab Writers Group, WFTV, and the Young Vic Creators Programme.
Her artistic journey began at The BRIT School, where she first developed her passion for the performing arts. She trained in Theatre (BA, Central School of Speech and Drama) and Text & Performance (MA, RADA), with additional screenwriting training from NFTS and Curtis Brown Creative. Her practice was recognised with a Dramaturgy Network Award, underscoring her commitment to inclusive, boundary-pushing storytelling.
