Screenwriting Workshops - Plays • Short Films • Monologues • Spoken Word

Intro

A weekly writing laboratory designed to support the development of original work for theatre, film, public speaking, and short fiction.
Through practical writing exercises, dramaturgical techniques and close textual development, you'll transform raw ideas into compelling work that thinks, feels and performs.

The Philosophy
Shape language into embodied action.

Great writing isn't just read. It's experienced.
Explore how words become gesture, silence, movement and emotion, creating stories that live beyond the page.

What you'll work on
Develop your own:
• Plays
• Short films
• Monologues
• Public speaking pieces
• Spoken word
• Short stories
Bring an existing project or start from a blank page.

During the workshop you'll explore
• Dramatic structure and dramaturgical thinking
• Character and dialogue
• Writing exercises and improvisational prompts
• Conceptual mapping
• Rewriting and textual refinement
• Reading work aloud and receiving feedback
• Transforming language into performance
This keeps almost every concept from the original text but makes it much easier to scan.

Flexible by design
Join one session or the full series.

Each 2-hour workshop is designed as a complete learning experience while also contributing to a larger creative journey.
If you can't attend every week, you're welcome to join individual sessions. Exercises and feedback are tailored to your experience, interests and current project.

€20 per 2-hour session
