ACTIVATE IMAGINATION:
Creative Writing
Our Creative Writing workshops give students permission to let their imaginations run wild! We know that for many young people, their first association with writing is of exam questions and homework. In this session, they will create their own piece of writing for the simple pleasure of the process, without the pressure of a deadline or passmark.
The workshop uses series of practical drama games to release inhibitions, igniting creativity and encouraging imaginative play. Alongside a series of devised exercises and improvisations, our experienced facilitators guide students through imagining and writing their own work. These workshops are tailored to each year group and can be focussed on a particular theme of your choice. Please get in touch to find out more.
