Writer’s lab conducted by Prajakt Deshmukh
This four-hour introductory writer’s lab is designed for those who are curious about theatre and wish to understand how a play comes alive on stage.
Writer’s lab focuses on the fundamentals of dramatic storytelling…what makes a moment theatrical, how conflict drives a scene, and how characters reveal themselves through action rather than explanation. It aims to shift the perspective from “telling a story” To “creating an experience in real time.”
