WRITING CHARACTER

A workshop on how to build character and find things you might have never thought were there. We'll play around with how you can make discoveries merely by writing dialogue - the stuff hidden in your head that is waiting to come out. No prep needed for the workshop, just be ready to write some things down.

Note: This workshop takes place online on Zoom. You will be sent a Zoom link 24 hours before the event.

Tickets £20

BURSARY PLACES: Each of our workshops have 3 free bursary places for those needing support to access the workshop. To apply for free place please email info@downstagewrite.uk with a short introduction to yourself and why a free place on the workshop would help you as a writer.
