Participants Feedback

What did you get from attending the project?

  • I have learnt so much about script writing which has helped with confidence in general and inspired me to write more and be open to similar things in the future.

  • I’ve learnt a new skill and I can see how writing can help acting/performing.

  • I learnt about actioning (a theatre writing technique) I gained more confidence and interest in writing in the future.

 

What did you enjoy about the writing workshops?

  • I enjoyed the safe space that was created and I liked the advice and discussions that we had.

  • The environment and feedback of others and being able to read others’ work.

  • I loved working with everyone and thoroughly enjoyed it. I felt I wasn’t judged and have been massively inspired.

  • I enjoyed how supportive everyone was and that Danny (workshop leader) had us get up and perform each other’s.

 

What did you enjoy about the public readings?

  • I liked how well they were directed and teched (lighting and sound) as well as the question and answer we did afterwards.

  • I liked seeing mine and other work on stage and how it was interpreted by the actors.

  • Seeing the different takes from the director/actors compared to how I would have envisioned it.

  • I liked watching my work and I loved everyone’s.

 

Is there anything you would have done differently?

  • I would just want to make mine longer and I could achieve this by focusing more on making more time to write.

  • I would have put more time into it and produced more work.

  • Written more and been more aware of sound and setting.

  • I found watching mine a bit cringy, so I would have prepared myself more.
