Mon 30-Tues 31 October
10am-1pm
The Bakehouse, Gatehouse of Fleet
A two-day workshop with distinguished stage, radio and TV dramatist Bernard Kops (Dreams of Anne Frank, The Hamlet of Stepney Green). In these workshops the playwright explores all the necessary elements that are needed to write a successful play. In the first instance the writer will concentrate on a unique study of the three essential twins at the foundation of playwriting. Dialogue and Character; Structure and Style; Story and Theme. The workshops will also look at the through line of everything, the critical exploration of the text and subtext, and the subtle interplay between the two; the right and left hand hemispheres of the brain; the separation of the disciplines; the emotional and creative side of oneself, plus the editorial and analytical process, and the input at a later stage that pulls the whole complex study into a unity. The work produced through all these stages will be demonstrated through readings.
