Writing for New Mediums
This performance has taken place in the past
Covid and lockdown has presented us with new challenges as writers – how can we make socially distanced and responsible work? What is this new theatrical language we’re being asked to work in and how do we push and challenge ourselves in unfamiliar mediums that we might not have had experience of working in before?
Join us for an interactive workshop looking at how we, as playwrights, might transfer our experience whilst still maintaining a scene of the theatrical. How do we collaborate with people online? How do we envisage projects that can be delivered under these unique and challenging conditions? And most importantly, how do we keep a sense of play when we’re stuck in a room on our own?
Please note tickets are being sold through both the Tron and The Gaiety so if our dates are sold then do head over to the Gaiety website to see what else is available.
