Live Online Workshop with Dawn Walton
Tuesday 28 April from 6.00pm – 8.00pm
Workshop with award-winning director Dawn Walton, Artistic Director of Eclipse Theatre Company, to explore what it means to write for actors, to give space in your writing for the drama to emerge and to question how you might convey subtext, emotion and dramatic action through your dialogue. Through a series of exercises and discussion, this workshop will explore techniques to make the most of the skills an actor can bring to your work.
These workshops are to inspire, provoke, challenge and support playwrights to create new work to submit for the 2015 Bruntwood Prize for Playwriting. Supporting material will be available to view here soon. The live workshop will be available from ustream.tv/channel/bruntwood-prize
