DAVID GEARY WORKSHOP – Wellington  

Getting in the same space / Stretching into new spaces.  

A workshop on process, practicalities and pathways to survival as a dramaturg and playwright.

All stories are love stories. David will share his most beloved exercises for dramaturgs and playwrights: Mapping Your Story, 3 The Hard Way, Genius of The Galaxy, Finding the Love, and many more.

We will be writing, staging, and finding the best way to give feedback. You can bring a project along or come wanting to find new tools and/or your next big thing.

We’ll also be exploring how working in other forms, like TV, graphic stories, and poetry, can improve your stagecraft.

Bring loose clothing and open minds.

10am to 4pm Saturday 11 August 2018
