Title - Works in progress (Dramaturgical) Workshop

Picture
At Large is dedicated to providing a forum for the development and production of new work. As part of our weekly workshop series the last workshop of every month will be dedicated to the sharing of new pieces. Everyone at the workshop gets involved from reading a part to taking a look at the piece from different perspectives such as director, actor, audience member and asks the writer questions from that particular point of view. This can be quite dynamic and can involve the use of various activities for example placing the actors in the appropriate positions of stage and giving actors pieces of dialogue to improvise around to help the writer make it more realistic. the group is open to any other ideas that might help a playwright tell their story.
