Led by Sadie Clark, an award winning writer, actor & comedy improvisor.
In this two hour workshop we will look at the basics of creating an idea for a new short play: Character, Action, Location and Time. Through discussion and writing exercises participants will leave with a sense of how to create characters and how to write a scene.
Part of the workshop discussion will focus on bisexual+ representation on stage (or lack of it), and how we can create dramatic conflict without having to rely on antagonism around a character's sexuality, or resorting to many of the harmful stereotypes often used when depicting bisexual characters.
Anyone under the bi+ umbrella, and allies wishing to learn, are welcome to attend this workshop.
Workshop participants will also be eligible for a £2 concession from Sadie's show Algorithms which is on at 6pm on the same day.
