A Workshop with Carley Magee

New Writers Workshop

 
 

Always had an idea for a play but never knew where to start? Interested in writing or making theatre? Or do you just want to be creative and have fun in a safe space?

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP

This workshop is designed for students, emerging artists, and anyone who’s curious about creating theatre for audiences — how to make work without putting yourself in a vulnerable position, while maintaining authenticity.

The workshop will be split into two sessions, writing and making, to explore their differences as well as the connective tissue between. As well as looking at how everyday creativity can contribute positively to overall wellbeing.

A project supported by PEACEPLUS, a programme managed by the Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB).
