Try some new ideas
This week will focus on exploring and developing the writer’s toolkit through a mixture of practical exercises, scene study, group work and one-to-one tutorials. The course will look at key areas of playwriting including: bringing your back-story to life; dialogue and character as action; meaningful form; writing what you really want; and the problem of autobiography. Willingness to try new ideas is essential.
