Forging a career as a writer requires drive, determination and a certain degree of staying power. tenacity is a targeted workshop programme designed to support writers along that path, to challenge pre-conceptions of the industry and to identify talented writers in the West Midlands who would benefit from further development.
Delivered across the Midlands region, tenacity will draw on the experience of professional playwrights, screenwriters, producers and theatre practitioners, to offer a unique focus on the creative process. Where possible tying into local productions of new work, Script will give writers the chance to learn new skills and ways of working in a practical, dynamic environment.
Script is the regional development agency for dramatic writers in the West Midlands, offering training, mentoring and support via industry-led partnerships. For further information, contact catherine.edwards@scriptonline.net
