503Studio Masterclass: Creativity in Challenging Times

These are extraordinary times. As writers how can we stay creative when life is so challenging?

In this masterclass, Anna Jordan will take you through a number of exercises for kickstarting creativity and writing our way through limitations, both physical and emotional. Together you will discuss different techniques for staying creative and how to cast fresh eyes on existing work. All you need is a pad and pen.

Thanks to Arts Council England’s Emergency Grant and our Share The Drama scheme, we want to make sure those of you who are struggling in the current climate can still take part in our Autumn Writers Programme. While we prioritise anyone who is long term unemployed and/or claiming benefits, we’re also offering subsidies if you’re in financial difficulty as a result of the Covid-19 crisis. To express interest in a bursary or subsidised placement through our Share The Drama scheme, please sign up here. If you would prefer to speak directly to a member of our team about your circumstance or to ask for more information about this scheme, please contact us.
