Trade - Creating Dramatic Worlds

During this free two-hour workshop, you will explore a new dramatic world you have never seen on stage before.
In the first half of this session, you will be guided through a series of scriptwriting prompts to write a short duologue from scratch, exploring a specific dramatic world or setting, and turning it into the beginnings of a new play. 

In the second half of the workshop, we will work together to explore, discuss and present how we could stage these scripts and concepts theatrically.
This workshop is open to writers, directors, theatre-makers, and creatives of all stages and backgrounds. If you are uncomfortable sharing your work, there is no pressure. This is a fun opportunity for creatives to meet, be inspired by each other, and formulate new ideas to take into your creative practice.
