This workshop is aimed at writers of all experience levels in getting started on writing their play. Questions addressed include: how do I get started in the research? How do I build my story? Who will be interested in these stories? Participants are encouraged to bring project-specific questions if they have them, but material and examples will also be provided. Character, dialogue, plot development will be explored, but we will also look at power, situation, and movement. What is it like to imagine the physicality of a play as a writer?
From the international theatre collective fish in a dress, Helena McBurney (PhD, King’s College London) will show through practical writing exercises and discussion how to approach writing for theatre.
