A lot of writers, when they are starting out, tend to write scenes which are too short. Whilst the old advice of ‘get in late, get out early’ is useful, sometimes it is also important to keep your scenes going to allow the drama to build. This session will look at techniques for doing that; exploring how to generate material, how to shape the material you generate and how to ensure your scene retains focus during the drafting process.
We have a limited amount of bursary places available via our Share the Drama scheme, thanks to the support of Dynamis, for long term unemployed/those claiming income support/jobseekers allowance. Please contact us if you are eligible for a bursary and would like to take part in the course.
Running time of workshop: 2.5-3 hours
