How do we create text material for the stage? This workshop will discuss the relationship between topics, content material and the text that is created for a performance. What topics and issues are relevant and in what form and language can they be presented on stage? The participants will look at potential topics–personal, local and international–and sketch out potential processes in creating text material for a performance (interviews, documentary material, proper writing, collage technique). Small writing exercises will cover questions regarding genre, form, content and language. Participants will work on writing and language exercises, plot development scenarios among other activities. They ideally have professional experience and have producted or directed one play.
