Synopsis:

The shape of a play is more than its structure—it's how time and space interact to guide the audience's attention and understanding. In this workshop, we'll explore scene intervals, transitions, and disjunctions, and how these elements shape the play's rhythm and illusion.

Tools is a workshop series by our visiting resident playwright Sean Dunnington for playwrights curious about theatricality - the unique magic of theatre that invites audiences to "believe" what they see on stage is true-to-life, even while knowing it's not real (to an extent). Each session dives into a specific element of this conceptual spell, blending discussion, hands-on activities, performance, and experimentation.

These workshops are suitable for playwrights/writers who are engaged with/thinking about craft at a serious level.
