Are you 16 – 25 years old and passionate about writing? This course of13 workshops will give you the time and space to reflect on why you write, what you want to say, who you want to say it to, how you’re going to say it... and get on and do it.

The course, led by professional writer Dinos Aristidou, will give 20 young writers the opportunity to develop their writing and experience what it is to write for, in and about theatre. Sessions are 10am – 12.30pm on alternate Saturdays between September 2014 – May 2015 and will finish with a ‘showing’ of work during Brighton Fringe Festival.

To apply submit a maximum of two A4 sides of creative writing on a subject of your choice. This can be in script format, or could be a short story or poem. What we want to see is creative flair – no prior experience of writing is needed.

This is a subsidised programme and the fee is £80 for successful applicants. A limited number of bursaries may be available. The closing date for submissions is 25 June 2014; there will be a selection workshop on 5 July.
