My Name Is...writing from your alter ego (ONLINE)

MY NAME IS……A workshop writing from your alter ego, taking inspiration from Eminem and David Bowie and their ‘other selves.’ Are you a secret Slim Shady or a Ziggy Stardust? What will your alter ego say that you wouldn’t? Create your alter ego and their counter alter ego and then write a short dialogue poem to be performed as a tiny play. We will explore character and experiment with using the poem as a script.
