So… what are you doing this Thursday?
In a fast and furious experiment – and frankly an opportunity to get out of the house and to dip your pen in some ink and just write something – IPAN (International Performing Arts Network) has asked me if I will host a fast furious, writers workshop. And I gleefully agreed…
Look, it’s not one of those sit around in a room and think about the play you’ve been writing for the last 5 years. This is something else… a series of tasks and exercises which I call ONE PAGE WONDERS… an opportunity to unclog, unblock and have fun with writing. It’s easy and fast and focused on fun.
Here’s the specs:
WHAT TO BRING:
1. Bring your laptop or a pen and paper – what ever you’re keen on…
2. Bring $10 (not bad for an hour workshop)
3. bring your willingness to write, your sense of adventure and humour
HOW IT WORKS
1. There are three exercises I will lead you through.
2. At the end of the exercises you can choose to “keep it private” or “air it” via some actors
3. Should you air it 4 actors from the cast of Bite Size will be directed by Sama Ky Balson and present your writing to a supporting crowd OR
You can read it yourself…
WHAT IS IT?
It can be anything – a thought a poem, a monologue, dialogue.. the beginning on an end to something –
IT can be ANYTHING
but not longer than 1 A4 page (12 size font)
WHY?
This is an opportunity for you to get out and about in the world, meet new people, creative people, put yourself under a tiny, fun deadline, explore the possibility of the nervous energy of a writing workshop.
Unlock, unthink your writing.
Hear it on stage.
Read it onstage.
