Warehouse Writers' Workshop
|
The
Warehouse Writers' Workshop
one of the most popular and long running
playwriting workshops in the country.
Many of our writers have found success across London, throughout
the UK and abroad.
The Workshops also make a regular, high-profile contribution to
the
International
Playwriting Festival
which has
gained a national and international reputation for discovering
new writers
and is linked to other European festivals:
Extra Candoni in Italy and Theatro Ena in Cyprus.
Warehouse
Writers' Workshop
is designed to cater for both the dedicated future professional
and the enthusiastic amateur alike.
Our workshop leader is Ken Christiansen
of Operating Theatre Company.
The next Workshops will be announced soon |
FAQ's
Do I need any
previous experience as a writer to join? Absolutely not. Workshops
in the past have featured those who have never written a play before, and those
who have won awards and had their work performed. The sessions are structured
so those attending get to rub off on one another; the less experienced will learn
from the more accomplished, and those who have been practising their craft a little
longer will gain from the newer writers' fresh outlook. How
much does it cost? The payment structure has changed from
previous years. Payment for a season (there are two seasons in a year, Autumn
and Spring) will be accepted up front and will cost £45.00. However, if
anyone has trouble mustering that kind of money we are open to discuss your circumstances.
We can always work something out. ( Joining mid-season might also be possible
(subject to numbers) with payment pro rata) What
do I get for my money? For your £45.00 you get:
* Five 3-hour sessions, headed by a professional writer who will offer advice
and chair discussions on the work submitted by members. * The chance to
hear guest speakers who will come to the sessions and talk on things of relevant
interest. Past speakers have included Ted Craig (Artistic Director,Warehouse Theatre)
& Natalie Wrayford (UK Film Council). * Access to a company of actors
who will attend a session to read extracts of the members work, allowing writers
to hear their work read out loud. * Complimentary membership and a ticket
to most of the shows performed at the Warehouse * The chance to have your
work showcased in the Warehouse's International Playwriting Festival, to be
featured in one of two slots given over specifically for members of the Writers
Workshop. As you can see, you get an awful lot for your £45.00
