#JMKSpace Starting Points: Jaz Woodcock Stewart

May 28, 2020 by Stephen Fewell

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. 

To reserve your free place, and receive a Zoom invitation, please email– nik@jmktrust.org

If you have any access requirements, need technical support or have any other questions, please don’t hesitate to contact nik@jmktrust.org

More #JMKSpace open-access events to be announced soon.
