THE WRITE HABIT
with Neel Sengupta
Do you wonder if you could write? Do you think of what you could have said in a conversation, on the way home? Do you have an idea for a play gnawing at your brain?
Then this 3-day Dramatic Writing Workshop is for you!
Dates: June 02-04, 2023
Venue: NRI Complex, Alaknanda, New Delhi
During the workshop, you will look at starting to write a play or work on a play you are already in the middle of writing. You will do writing exercises to get your writer's muscle warmed up, participate in marathon writing sessions, get one-on-one guidance on your writing from the facilitator, and at the end of it, read out your scenes with your peers and receive constructive feedback from the facilitator.
Workshop fee: INR 4000/-
