Writing Workshop: Create Dramatic Dialogue

About WorkshopDo you want to write dialogue that captures and engages? In this workshop you will be given concrete tools to avoid fillings and create lines with bites. We work with the power of subtitles and methods from the theatre to make your scenes come alive and relevant — whether you are writing for theatre, film or books.

Everyone can participate — and you get the opportunity to try your hand at exercises and readings, so you feel how words really work on stage.

Using methods from the process of drama and theatre, we sharpen the dialogue and the individual scene - so that it becomes exciting and relevant.
