The Rondo Scriptwriting Group
The Rondo hosts a playwriting forum for anyone who is writes scripts at any level. The perfect opportunity to share ideas, identify problems and work through some of the tricks of the trade. There will be visits from theatre professionals to give advice on getting your work shown.
Age 18 upwards. 8.00pm. Led by Dougie Blaxland. Cost: £30 for two terms.
The Rondo Writers’ meetings will begin again on Monday September 20th at The Rondo at 8.00pm. New members are welcome to come along.
The Rondo’s Artistic Director Ian Mc Glynn will talk to the group on the 20th about what professional directors want from a script. This is an absolute must for those writers who want to see their work staged professionally.
We will also be announcing details of the New Writing Festival which the Rondo will be staging in Spring 2011 so you must, must, must make a point of coming to our first session if you'd like to participate.
The meetings will encourage existing writers and help those who have an ambition to write to get started.
The sessions may involve:
- Approaches to writing plays for the stage/developing structure/developing character/developing theme
- Reading and commenting on the work of one/two of the group each week.
- Setting specific tasks including writing for a group of actors...
- Getting your work out there/approaches to getting work staged/ the realities of the market place....
- Advice on new work to see
- Occasional visits from other professionals to bring new and varied perspectives to the sessions
