WritERS Lab is a group for people looking to explore writing for performance.
Suitable for beginners and those who have already begun the journey, over the course of weekly sessions we will look at enabling people to discover their voice as writers, develop confidence and encourage creativity. Alongside this we will develop craft through exercises exploring the basics of dramatic structure, developing character, dialogue and story.
This brand new workshop will be led by Mike Akers.
