Writing with Pen

rendezvous to write

A series of fortnightly sessions to assist you to write about your life and to provide useful ideas and strategies to ensure your writing comes to life on the page. Life writing topics, readings from published memoirs and stories shared by the participants will inspire group members to recall their own personal histories. So often we find that one person’s memory brings back a flood of recollections in another. There is much joy in finding your own voice and the right words to express your experiences. ​​

The Connections Workshop tile_edited.jpg

leftover theatre: The connections workshop

A weekly cozy, creative hang for young adults aged 18-26, focused on theatre skills, devising, and creative writing. Laid-back, and theatre-focussed, these workshops are a great way to stretch your creative legs, and connect with like-minded folks while experimenting with performance, story telling, staging and directing. It’s all the fun of being in a rehearsal room, without the end-game pressure.
