In this workshop, you'll learn to write within those constraints. From adapting fiction, poetry, and nonfiction into scripts or staged readings, to shaping scenes around limited space, props, and costumes, you'll explore how constraint becomes a creative tool. You'll be guided through a writers' room exercise and a table read, reflecting on how a piece shifts when it moves from page to voice.Who Should AttendWriters of all levels, especially those with less experience in playwriting.About Your InstructorW.
