Dates: 25 - 26 June 2011 (Cape Town), 2 - 3 July 2011 (Johannesburg)
Aspirant writers who want to wave their creative wand and turn words into action are invited to join The Writing Studio's Weekend Workshop in Cape Town on June 25 and 26, and in Johannesburg on July 2 and 3.
The practical From Page to Screen workshop gives writers a hands-on opportunity to:
- turn their ideas into a storyoutline
- use a card outline to write scenes and sequences
- write a pivotal scene from their outline
- pitch their concepts to a group of professional directors and actors
During the workshop the writers will be working with trainer Daniel Dercksen, who will guide them through the process of conceptualising ideas, writing story outlines that sizzle, and then mastering the art of card outlines.
It is a practical workshop where writers write and get a unique opportunity of seeing their thoughts and words in action.
It is also an opportunity for writers to explore their talent as a director, actor or producer and ground their careers as proudly South African storymakers.
The workshop takes place from 9am until 6pm on both days.
