This will include looking at the importance of dialogue revealing rather than merely informing, and when to start and end a conversation to create the most engaging experience for the reader/audience.The session will include a number of practical exercises, exploring the crucial importance of creating a distinct individual voice for each character within the story, whilst also considering how it purposefully delivers information about their background, age, and personality.The exercises will also involve looking at the importance of subtext in dialogue, and its powerful role in conveying the unspoken thoughts, emotions, and intentions, hidden beneath the characters’ spoken words. Alongside considering how to integrate action and body language with realistic dialogue, to effectively convey emotion and meaning for both the development of the character and the storyline.THE TUTORTina Jay is an award winning playwright, having won both the International Playscript Competition (judged by Sir Alan Ayckbourn), and the Kenneth Branagh Award for New Drama Writing.Her plays have been performed across London, with her most recent play 'Syndrome' performed for a two week run at Tristan Bates Theatre in Covent Garden, receiving 5* reviews and an Offie nomination for 'Best New Play'.
