The Norwegian Drama Festival is owned and operated by Foreningen Norsk Samtidsdramatikk (The Association for Norwegian Contemporary Drama). Det Norske Teatret hosts the festival and is their closest collaborator. The aims of this organisation are:
To arrange Norsk Dramatikk Festivalen every second year.
To recruit new talents to playwriting
To promote the production of Norwegian plays also outside the context of the festival
To give playwrights professional theatre experience through various types of manuscript production
To create a meeting place and professional forum where playwrights, other theatre professionals and the audience can meet
To cooperate with other organisations pursuing similar objectives in order to further strengthen the developmental possibilities, production and performance of Norwegian dramatic writing.
