Ever had a fantastic idea for a play but struggled to figure out a way to get it down on paper? This session will incorporate a mixture of writing exercises and experienced advice to help allow your ideas for stage develop and flourish. Whether you are a veteran playwright or looking to write your first ever script we will aim to give practical tools to assist you in nurturing your ideas from inception to stage. The session will cover the techniques on how to plan and structure your initial play idea, as well as dramaturgical support for any specific obstacles you might currently be facing in getting that idea on to the page. So, whether you are on your final draft, planning out the plot, or still working on the initial concept, come on down and get back on track for the next steps of your writing journey.
