Question 1

Who is this workshop for?

This workshop is ideal for anyone based in Scotland, aged 16+ and interested in creative writing, songwriting, theatre-making, or storytelling – whether you’re a total beginner or an experienced artist looking for fresh inspiration, this is for you!

Question 2

Do I need any experience?

Accepted Answer

Question 3

What will we actually do during the workshop?

Accepted Answer

You’ll take part in creative games and exercises around playwriting, songwriting, and performance. You’ll explore how musicals are built and start developing your own ideas – maybe even contributing material that could be featured in OILCAN itself.

There will be optional sharing opportunities, but there’s no pressure to perform if that’s not your thing.

Do I need any materials?

Accepted Answer

Just yourself and something to write with. Whether that's pen & paper, quill & parchment or your laptop.

Is this a Fringe thing?

OILCAN is much, much bigger than the Fringe.
