Interested in creative writing for different mediums like theatre and spoken word?
In this four day course we’ll explore how to craft stories and build words using your own ideas. We’ll explore story structure, creating characters and developing narratives, and help you express your own voice through poetry and storytelling.
You’ll spend time playing creative games and getting to know each other as a group, to help you build confidence in sharing ideas and expressing yourself in a comfortable, safe space. Then we’ll work towards creating some original pieces of work both collaboratively with the group and individually.
