REPRESENTATION MATTERS: AN INTRODUCTION TO PLAYWRITING FOR BISEXUAL+ CREATIVES

In this two hour workshop we will look at the basics of creating an idea for a new short play: Character, Action, Location and Time.

Through discussion and writing exercises participants will leave with a sense of how to create characters and how to write a scene.

Part of the workshop discussion will focus on bisexual+ representation on stage (or lack of it), and how we can create dramatic conflict without having to rely on antagonism around a character’s sexuality, or resorting to many of the harmful stereotypes often used when depicting bisexual characters.

Anyone under the bi+ umbrella, and allies wishing to learn, are welcome to attend this workshop.
