INSPIRATIONWe will help you focus, get your ideas on paper and move forward with ongoing drafts.
If you're staring at a blank sheet of paper facing a redraft or stuck with particular aspect of your play, we can help you with a fresh pair of eyes and some new thinking. |
DEADLINES & MENTORINGWe'll set deadlines, encourage you to keep writing and mentor you at every stage of the work. This includes readings and feedback.
We provide one-to-ones and individual mentoring too. |
TOOLS & TECHNIQUESWe have built up a huge range of tools and techniques to share.
From building the world of your play to finding and foreshadowing the perfect ending and everything in between, we've got you covered. It all adds up to honing your play's character, structure and dialogue. |
SMALL GROUPSWe find groups bond quickly to support each other and only ever work in groups of eight in our workshops.
This means, rather than recycle content, we can create bespoke exercises and feedback to develop each play individually. |
