Espresso! Short+Sweet Writing and Acting Workshops
Short + Sweet is back! Get ready for the world’s biggest short play festival with these specially brewed scriptwriting and acting workshops.
Choose from three workshops:
• Scriptwriting

Scriptwriting Workshops
These concentrated workshops are perfect for both beginners and those with experience. Using simple yet effective exercises, they will give you the skills, tools and techniques to turn your ideas into successful plays.
Session one will explore how to start writing, creating characters, building a narrative, and some playwriting basics such as turning off your inner critic!
Session two will focus on the different styles of theatre, how to make your script work, harnessing your imagination and working with dialogue. This session will also reveal the secrets of writing for Short+Sweet and Short Sweet+Song, our 10-minute musical festival.
