Do you have a story to tell but you’re not sure how to tell it? Don’t know if it’s for the big screen, the small screen, the stage or for radio?
Or do you have a story you are telling for any of the above, but could do with a bit of encouragement and guidance in the telling of it?
Or, as a prose writer, would you be interested to learn more about 'writing for performance', and how that can help enliven the ‘writing for reading’ you are already grappling with?
Would you like to learn more about the who, what, where, when, why – and why on earth nots – of script writing?
Well you are in luck! We invite you to join us in a relaxed but inspiring workshop that will guide you gently but surely through all you need to start - or progress.
Using prompts and exercises to help develop the project you are hoping to start, you are half way through, or you’d like to revisit; covering story, structure, character, dialogue and audience – as well as some discussion about the work that is already out there and what we think works best and why.
Facilitated by Tessa Gibbs, who, after working in feature film distribution, production and postproduction, moved into script development, working as a script consultant and, finally, as a script writer.
Numbers limited to 12.
Fee: £30
Places are limited so early booking is recommended to avoid disappointment.
Tessa Gibbs has received commissions to write historical feature films (No Place for a Lady: the story of Mary Seacole, Almost America: the story of Henry Knox and a foul-mouthed comedy called Hammered about the fall of iconic British film makers Hammer House of Horror), and has had original comedy and drama scripts for television optioned by BBC Northern Ireland, Fifty Fathoms, Clerkenwell Films, World Productions and, most recently, Film Nation.
She has had 8 radio plays produced, including Killing Kate, Making Peace, Meltdown and the two parter, Leaving, for BBC Radio 4. She is represented by Frances Arnold at Rochelle Stevens & Co for film, television and radio.
For those of you who weren’t lucky enough to catch it the first time round, or in last November’s repeat, her Radio 4 play, Leaving, (a darkly funny family drama about love, loss and legacy - and why doing the right thing can seem like the wrong thing to do) is still available on BBC iPlayer.
Cancellation policy: non-refundable
