About Write Sparks 101: We are committed to facilitating a program that casts a wide net across the region and captures a broad diversity of voices and stories that need nurturing. This program is not just for seeing your story come to life, it's for anyone who feels compelled to get their story out through the exploration of performance writing. It can be the cathartic experience you’ve always dreamed of… the stairway to creativity you’ve been searching for.
Write Sparks offers beginners and emerging writers the opportunity to tell their stories while learning the skills of writing for performance. Participants will experience and learn how to progress their work from strength to strength through the structured support of award-winning playwright and dramaturge, Kathryn Ash. The program is run over three residencies throughout 2018 running from Friday afternoons through to Sunday afternoons (15 hours of intensive hands on development per residency). These residencies will not only be an amazing opportunity to work your craft through activities and writing exercises but will also build a great network of peers.
