FREE 8 Week Scriptwriting Course
Wednesdays, 6.30pm to 8.30pm
30th September to 2nd December
Across eight weeks, you’ll explore dialogue, theme, setting, structure, action, planning and redrafting, while developing your own creative voice.
By the final week, you’ll aim to have written a short script you can be proud of, with the opportunity to hear it performed script in hand by actors as part of an end of course celebration sharing.
Places on the full course are limited to 16.
