SPECIAL FESTIVE OFFER - A 2-HOUR WORKSHOP FOR JUST £5!

The status of characters in stories can make or break the conflict they need to resolve. If Cinderella had been too frightened of the stepmother to pull out the “other slipper” would she still be sweeping floors? If Sandy had said “I am who I am and if you don’t like it, well you’re not the one that I want so bye bye”, would Danny still be crying at the drive in?

Our heroes’ journeys almost always feature them needing to overcome some conflict with the people around them, but how they see the people around them, and more importantly, how they see themselves, can make all the difference to how easy this actually is, or is not.

This two-hour workshop will use techniques used by theatre directors and actors to develop their characters to help you represent status and power dynamics in your writing and add inner strength to your characters and intricate complexity to their challenges.

EVEN IF YOU CAN'T MAKE THE LIVE DATE, EVERYONE WITH A TICKET IS SENT THE REPLAY LINK AFTER THE EVENT.
