Every week our young people build their confidence by learning new skills, having fun and making new connections. Our dedicated team lead sessions that are not just about writing. The sessions also focus on things we know are important to our young people like developing social skills, problem solving and collaboration.
Our weekly sessions encourage our young people to experience a variety of approaches to creative and playwriting writing skills. At the end of this term the young people’s writing will be shared through a short season of online work delivered by professional actors and directors.
Introduction to Playwriting is open to everyone aged 15 – 18. We’re aware that every young person develops at their own rate and ability. We aim to provide a nurturing environment, so our young people can make the most of their experiences. If you have any questions about the programme, please don’t hesitate in contacting us on the email below.
HOW TO JOIN
Introduction to Playwriting will restart in Autumn 2024. The sessions will be every Thursday from 7.30pm – 9.30pm at Sherman Theatre, starting on Thursday 12 September. Use the booking link on this page or email itp@shermantheatre.co.uk for more information.
VIDEO TUTORIALS & RESOURCES
In addition to our weekly sessions we also support blended learning environments through our FREE video workshop tutorial series.
Theatrical professionals from across Wales and the UK have helped create content that will guide creative writing and theatre making. Each contributor tells us about themselves and their career path, before leading your students through two exercises to enhance their writing skills.
We also provide an activity pack with further information on the exercises and a detailed glossary, enabling you to develop lessons and work schemes.
“I appreciated the friendly, creative environment, and it has made me look forward to writing professionally in the future.”
