Plays that don’t start with the word
with
Jaz Woodcock Stewart |
This #JMKSpace session/workshop on Zoom will look at making plays that don’t start with one writer.
In a writing-centric theatre ecology, are there other ways to make Plays? Through tasks and improvisation everyone in a process may ‘write’; whether that be actors, designers and directors. This workshop explores how the director as editor can guide that process.
Please send in any questions you may have for Jaz ahead of the workshop, so she can consider these.
This #JMKSpace event is open to all. It takes the place of our directors’ groups normally hosted by Nuffield Southampton Theatres, Salisbury Playhouse and Reading Rep.
20 spaces are available. There will be a waiting list for participants who wish to join once the workshop has reached capacity. As with all our events, please inform us as soon as possible if you are no longer able to attend.
The workshop will take place 11.00 a.m – 1.00 p.m on Friday 5th June on Zoom, facilitated by Nik Partridge.
