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 Zoom link to register for this workshop will be available soon. See more details in the attached event poster
