Workshop description :

Short+Sweet Scriptwriting Course: Beginners

This course is designed for people who have often thought about writing for the theatre but have never given it a go. It aims to inspire you to start writing and give you the tools to write that 10-minute play to enter for Short+Sweet Malaysia.

Short+Sweet Scriptwriting Course: Intermediate

This course is designed for people who have already written for the stage and perhaps come to the course with the first draft of a 10-minute play. It is also suitable if you’ve completed the Beginners Course.

It aims to equip you with further scriptwriting skills to refine your play and to workshop the first draft.

Short+Sweet Directing Course: Beginners

This course is designed for anyone who has ever thought about directing theatre but has never had the opportunity to try.

Short+Sweet Directing Course: Intermediate

This course is designed for people who have some experience in directing in theatre (or another medium such as film) and would like to learn more about the craft of directing or explore different approaches. It is also suitable for those who have completed the Beginners course.

Short+Sweet Directors & Playwrights (combined session)

In this final session you will work with actors to direct a short scene that will be presented at the end of the workshop, utilising the techniques you have explored during the course.

After scenes are presented you will receive feedback from Alex on further areas you might like to develop.
