Weekend Workshop For Writers
Own the writing process
Take ownership of your story
12 & 13 November 2022
If you want to write a story, the weekend workshop will take you from inspiration, fully developing your idea, characters and plotting, to writing your first pages.
Following in the tradition of 23 years of extensive workshops throughout South Africa, and courses internationally, The Writing Studio has shaped the successful careers of many of South Africa’s leading filmmakers and storytellers and is now honing the skills of future writers in the art and craft of storytelling.
Daniel Dercksen will take you on an insightful and inspirational journey into what it takes to be a writer and how to make the most of who you are as a writer.
- Daniel is the driving force behind the successful independent training initiative The Writing Studio and a published film and theatre journalist of 40 years, Daniel Dercksen has been teaching workshops in creative writing, playwriting, and screenwriting throughout South Africa for the past 22 years, and fine-tuning screenplays and stories as a story-editor. During the last 8 years he has made a home for himself in the heart of the Karoo.
The workshop takes place at The Women’s Library at the Artscape Theatre Centre on Saturday 12 November & Sunday, 13 November from 10am until 5pm.
The workshop is ideal for screenwriters, novelists, playwrights … ANYONE who has a story to write.
It is an interactive, intimate, and introspective journey into the world of the story, empowering writers to take ownership of the creative journey, and creative expression.
The 4-sessions will explore who are you as a storyteller and storymaker, how to write a first draft, what type of story you are writing and who you are writing for, what you want to write, who are you writing about, how do you structure & plot your story and how do you take ownership of your story.
There will also be a Q & A after each session, and Daniel Dercksen will also be available for exclusive one-on-one sessions on Monday, 14 November.
All you need for the workshop is a notebook, pencil, and your IMAGINATION!
