Hone your dialogue writing skills, share your work, and participate in a mock writer's room with award winning writer, Tom Hunsinger!
About this Event

This is a course for beginning and intermediate level writers who are interested in making work for TV, Film or Theatre that focuses on the core building block of dramatic writing: dialogue.


Award-winning writer Tom Hunsinger will lead the group through a series of exercises designed to hone your ear, and translate that skill to the page.


During the course, you will write from yourself and away from yourself using structured exercises that engage your ear and imagination. Each week you will produce a two-page scene to be read out in class.


One of the weeks will involve a mock writer's room, giving preparation for those interested in working collaboratively, as in TV.


*Previous participants of this course are invited to return and can bring in work to share with the group*
