Dialogue Writing

Saturday 29 May 2010 - Sunday 30 May 2010

Presented by: Raimondo Cortese
Rating: All levels
Type: Workshop
Additional dates: Saturday 29 & Sunday 30 May, 10am – 4pm

This workshop focuses on writing dialogue and scenes for theatre, film or TV. The work involves a direct and intensive exploration of the written material. Dialogue is driven by unconscious action, by what the line is doing rather than by literal meaning. Raimondo will work with each participant individually while including the input of others, developing the work line by line until it appears to be at its most distilled.
