A workshop for actors who want to write and writers who want to act.

What’s the process of putting your own words on a page and then bringing them to life on stage? Award-Winning writer and performer, Nathan Queeley-Dennis explores how to write work that feels authentic to you, and how to find the freedom in performing it.
Through exercises and discussion, you’ll begin to develop your voice on the page and explore the changes when you say your words aloud and connect with an audience. Whether you’re starting with a new idea, developing something you’ve already written, or have never written before and want to scratch that itch, this session will help you find the spark in your writing and bring it to the stage.
