Reconnect & Reimagine: IWWG 2022

No experience necessary! This six-day, cumulative class is not just for screenwriters. It is for novelists, memoirists, personal essayists, short-story writers or anyone who wants to learn to get to good story FAST. Linda focuses on the importance of a vivid log line and the industry standard, three-act STRUCTURE of a salable script. As an experienced buyer and seller in the entertainment industry, Linda uses popular films to teach you scene-writing, sub plots, plot points and act breaks. And on the last two days, she will stop and start an Academy Award film so you can see the structure of the film in action! Dialogue, character, research and the legal aspect of the process is also covered in this fun and entertaining class.

Pre-registration required; limited to ten registrants on a first-come, first-served basis. You must first register for the conference and you will be emailed a code to pre-register for this workshop.

Have you always wanted to write for the stage, but didn’t know how to begin? Short play and monologue festivals are a regular feature of theatre companies, offering novice and experienced playwrights opportunity to see their writing performed. You’ll develop in class (or bring) a draft of (1) a ten-minute play; (2) a monologue; (3) an excerpt from a one-woman show; or (4) a short scene from a longer play. In class writing, script reading and feedback will explore theatrical structure, setup, dialogue, plot, character development, theme, theatricality, and production. We’ll discuss successful plays and monologues and tools for avoiding common pitfalls. Our Lab culminates in a performance, Wednesday evening, (for an enthusiastic audience of conference attendees), where actors will read your play on stage so you can hear your script on its feet. Our final session focuses on revision and submitting to play festivals for production. No prior playwriting experience is required.
