MORNING SESSION (A): FROM STAGE TO PAGE: CRAFTING THEATRICAL MOMENTS
How can you use tangible writing methods to craft stories that are compelling, energetic and larger than life? This hands-on workshop will explore how using touch and other senses can help you navigate writers’ block, activate scenes and boost the theatrical quality of your work. We'll explore what theatricality is and what it can offer your story, applying skills commonly used for the stage onto the page. The workshop will be taught through the lens of playwriting, but will teach skills that can be applied to any form. Open to writers of all levels and genres.
