Writing for Stage with Nicola Spendlove
Sun 8 - Sun 15 Sep 2024
Writing for stage
Behind every great piece of theatre or performance art is a solid piece of writing. Learn how to craft an original piece for the stage - whether it’s a hard-hitting monologue, a sparkling comedy two-hander, or even the beginnings of a feature length play.
Together, we’ll explore how to translate our ideas from our imaginations onto the page, and then from the page onto the stage. Everybody from absolute beginners to seasoned Shakespeares most welcome.
Morning journal hour
Start your day with a structured group journaling session, where you will be guided through carefully chosen prompts to help you reflect on and process your magical Atsitsa journey. Don’t worry - you won’t be asked to read anything out to the group!
