Hi everyone, Please take note of the following edit to the link to register for Debbie Patterson's workshop on December 8th. Use this link<https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN__UQqy7xzQ56b1h5Nd4fXXQ> instead for registration. Dialogue and Desire by Debbie Patterson Thursday, December 8th, 2022 from 12 - 2 PM CT Folks are invited to attend this workshop by Winnipeg playwright, composer, director and actor Debbie Patterson. Patterson trained at the National Theatre School of Canada and is the former Artistic Director of the Popular Theatre Alliance of Manitoba (PTAM). In this workshop, we’ll look at how to write active dialogue, whether you’re writing a script or using dialogue as part of a prose narrative. By playing close attention to the character’s desires, we can drive the story forward through active dialogue. How do we ask for what we want? What makes it hard to ask? How do we ask without asking?

The Writing Towards a Just World Research Cluster Presents Crafting Comedy: Humour as a Tool of Decolonization hosted by writer, Frances Koncan November 8th , 2022 from 12 - 2 PM CT Hybrid workshop - in-person at 307 Tier and online via Zoom Some say comedy is an innate gift that only a select few possess; others say it's a skill that anyone can learn. Writer, Frances, thinks it's a little bit of both! In this workshop, we'll explore the building blocks of humour, joke-writing, and comedy as well as our own individual lived experiences, perspectives, and ideas to exercise our comedic muscles and explore our authentic voice as writers. Through a combination of listening, watching and, most importantly, writing, we'll focus in on how humour can be used to challenge and re-imagine the rules, structures and practices that we have been taught – and hopefully have a few laughs along the way.
