This is a writing workshop with a difference. No previous writing experience necessary. This workshop will equip you with the skills to harness your creativity and get started. This workshop is designed to take the fear out of writing and instead celebrate imagination, creativity and storytelling. So, what can you expect from this workshop? Some drama games, some writing and a whole lot of fun. You’ll create a piece of writing for performance, explore what makes a great script, and learn how to write for a character.

As someone with dyslexia Poppy understands the importance of creating non judgemental spaces for neurodivergent young people to express their ideas.
