Writing for Performance Workshop by Will Jackson

There will be exercises, games and challenges to unlock your imaginations and get your creative juices flowing. We’ll explore how to generate content, basic story structure, and getting out of a writer’s block.

This workshop will also include a discussion with resources on how to practically and pragmatically get your writing staged, showcased and funded.

This workshop is for everyone, whether you’re an experienced thespian, an artist who’s used to writing for a different format, or if you just have the itch to start writing, come along! All you need is yourselves, your imaginations, and if you have them, a favourite pen and paper.
