With the submission window for the Verity Bargate Award open from 11 April until 17 June, Soho Theatre have been hosting playwriting workshops at venues across the UK and Ireland.
For this relaxed environment online workshop, led by Matilda Feyiṣayọ Ibini, we’re inviting artists who identify as disabled to join us on Zoom. Within the workshop, writers will be provided with information about the scope of Soho Theatre’s current programs, the three theatre spaces, and what storytelling and theatricality mean to us.
In the first part of the workshop, writers will learn about the Verity Bargate Award and Soho Theatre’s heritage of new writing.
In the second part we’ll discuss a script sample or two, investigating how they are structured, the form they take, their style and subject matter.
This workshop has been tailored to be a more relaxed workshop specifically for disabled and neurodivergent participants and will be hosted on Zoom with captions. It will be supported by Max Elton (Literary Associate – Verity Bargate Award) and Jules Haworth (Access Support Worker & Soho Theatre Creative Engagement Associate).
This session will be BSL interpreted. If you would like to discus any particular access requirements please email max@sohotheatre.com
