I am back running writing sessions at Malvern Theatres. In the first session we looked at how the 'seven stories' can help drive our plays. For example if you want to write a story about romance then giving a character a fatal flaw can really help drive your play. Interesting conversation and some good examples from the group for example how Groundhog Day is a story of rebirth in the way that A Christmas Carol is. X

I am really enjoying running workshops to a 'smaller' group of 5 people at Malvern. The attendees have also benefitted from working more intensively with more time for writing, reading work out and feedback. I have seen their confidence really grow over the last 9 weeks. Be interesting to see what other workshop leaders feel about working with less numbers. x

A lot of talk about young people and not knowing what they are up too. But lets not forget that a lot of young people are in fact busy, motivated and going to be really well when they leave school/college. I was fortunate enough to work with a group of young people at the Worcester Competitive Arts Festival. Those young people were polite, friendly and hugely talented. My advice to them was pretty simple. You are young, you are talented and you look like you have a strong support network around you. In other words, don't take any of that for granted but to also allow yourself to follow your youthful heart rather than your head.

Really enjoying running my workshops at Malvern Theatres. Keeping the activities new is as important for me as am sure it is for the attendees. Further ones booked in the summer too.

Hello!
I am investigating whether there is an appetite for one-to-one playwriting advice. Ideally aimed at writers who have a little more experience and who have plays they are working on.
I would obviously read the work and then offer writing support and advice.
Would this be something that you feel would be of interest to writers?
I would envisage it would be online work but could be in person.

Be great to get your feedback! Please direct message me too if you prefer!

Many thanks

Steve

Running a lot of creative workshops at present which is both enjoyable but also presents a challenge to keep them fresh and different. I try and keep them as 'open' and welcoming as possible and allow people to talk and share ideas while at the same time making sure they stick to time.

End of my mini tour of Diary of a Badminton Player. Doing a one person show is a strange experience. Not really sure if its totally me. I always felt a bit like the singing guitar player in Paul Simon's Homeward Bound which is ridiculous as the furthest I went to was Cheltenham! Time to ponder what next for the show and with this character. x

First workshop completed at Malvern Theatres. I do love running workshops though still can't get used to being called a teacher.
