About

This beginner-friendly workshop will explore methods of storytelling across digital landscapes and share ways to adapt stories for digital platforms.

Exploring ideas of liveness (and how to capture it), this workshop led by Nessah Muthy, a multi-award-winning writer for stage and screen, will arm you with tools and techniques for how to shape your ideas and sculpt your story within a digital form.

Taking place on Zoom, this interactive workshop can facilitate a maximum of 20 participants who will be able to be heard and seen throughout.

This event is part of our First Stages Festival - a celebration of storytelling and playwriting.

The Traverse Theatre is funded by Creative Scotland and The City of Edinburgh Council, with additional support from The Scottish Government Performing Arts Venues Relief Fund.
