In 2005, together with his fellow students Reyna Bruns and Magdalena Grazewicz, he realized the youth play Here stayed! As a commissioned work for the Berlin Grips Theater . , which addressed the living situation of minor refugees in Germany and pleaded for a humane right to stay.

With the play alter ford escort dark blue , Laucke was invited to the dramatists' workshop at the Stückemarkt in 2006 as part of the Berlin Theatertreffen and one year later was nominated for the Mülheim Dramatists Prize 2007 on the occasion of the 32nd Mülheimer Theatertage. As a production by Mitteldeutscher Rundfunk , a radio play based on this piece was created in 2008 under the direction of Matthias Matschke and with the speakers Jörg Schüttauf and Judith Engel . In the 2006/2007 season Laucke received a scholarship from the authors' laboratory at the Düsseldorfer Schauspielhaus . During this scholarship he wrote the play We're Always Up.

Trivia

In reviews , parallels are occasionally drawn between Dirk Laucke and Clemens Meyer . The themes and characters in her works are located outside the middle of society.

For the staging of Dirk Laucke's play The cold kiss of warm beer in the Trier Theater by director Ingrid Müller-Farney, TV Smith wrote four pieces of music, some with German text. The premiere took place on May 5, 2012. The tracks can be heard on the EP Dangerous Playground and on the album I Delete .
