Theatre & Radio Workshop

BBC Radio Drama, Birmingham Repertory Theatre and Punch are collaborating on a 2-part workshop to explore the methods, challenges and opportunities of creating new writer-performer work for theatre and radio. This workshop is an opportunity for spoken word artists, performance poets and lyricists to broaden their creative platforms. Set over 2 days the 1st workshop will cover writing skills and help generate material from personal history and identity towards the 2nd workshop where artists will experiment with performance and recording. With producing, writing and studio professionals on hand, this is a chance to get under the skin of writer/performer drama for theatre and radio. To apply, please send a short letter stating your interest in the workshop and a sample of your work (this can be a website link) to clare.lovell@birmingham-rep.co.uk by 5pm on 24th May 2010.  Workshops take place on the 7th and 10th June, 2pm- 6pm. Participants MUST attend both workshops and be over the age of 18.
