Posted on Monday, 8 September 2008 at 16:08 by Richard O'NeillCategory: South West, training/courses, young people |
Writing Theatre for Younger Audiences: A European Perspective is a course running at Totleigh Barton Arvon Centre in Devon from 24-29 November 2007. It’s a brilliant development opportunity for emerging and up-and-coming playwrights making work for children and young adults, offered at around half the normal Arvon course price to make it widely accessible. This course will have an international flavour and draw on best European practice by seeking to uncover what is at the heart of the best work, look for its roots and trace the soul journey of the Child at its centre. The focus will be on developing and deepening your own writing practice through workshops, one-to-one tutorials, readings, work ‘on the floor’ and private writing time. The course will be taught by two internationally acclaimed theatre-makers with first-hand experience of Dutch & Flemish children’s theatre who are perfectly placed to draw on their work both at home and abroad. This course is aimed at emerging and established playwrights making work for young audiences (not suitable for complete beginners). Click here for more information on the Arvon Foundation
