Script is running a programme of writer development activity over the next couple of months and there’s still time to apply for a place on the forthcoming 3-day workshop in collaboration with Third Angel.

Third Angel are a fantastic company whose work is consistently exciting and innovative; taking simple concepts and exploring their full theatrical potential. I first came across them when their play Presumption came to The Rep in 1997. It remains one of the best pieces of theatre I’ve seen and I’m very happy to be offering writers the chance to work with them for 3 days over the summer. Full details below:

Devising for Writers
Sunday 11th July, 10am-5pm
Saturday 14th August, 10am-5pm
Sunday 15th August, 10am-5pm

The Drum, Birmingham
A three day workshop exploring writing as part of a devising process; writing that takes place during the making and rehearsing of a performance. The workshop will focus on rule-based text-generating exercises, starting with simple games and discussions, and developing these approaches into material for performance. The workshop will culminate with an informal showing of some of the ideas and material developed over the three days.

Alexander Kelly is Co-Artistic Director of performance company Third Angel with whom he devises, directs, writes, designs and performs. Alex tours with Third Angel’s work throughout the UK and internationally; he has taught at Universities across Britain and at the Gulbenkian Foundation in Lisbon .

To apply for a place, please email info@scriptonline.net your contact details, a short biography and an outline (not more than 2 sides of A4) of why you would like to attend and how the workshop will help you at this stage in your career.
