Southside Stories

Audio Drama Sessions at the Kindle Centre

Six sessions on Wednesday evenings (see below for dates)

Have you ever thought about creating a story that other people can listen to?

Rural Media is launching a series of six audio drama sessions for young people, as part of the Our Place South Wye project. Rachel Lambert will lead the workshops, joined by some special guests, to help you with all aspects of making a unique audio drama, including:

• developing stories

• scriptwriting

• sound design

• music

• recording

• editing

• performance (for those who want to do this!)

At the end of the series, your group will have created a unique audio drama that can be recorded at Rural Media’s podcast studio in Hereford.

Each session will be 2 hours long and include drinks and snacks to keep the creative energy flowing.

Sessions are free and are open to young people aged 11-17.

Places are limited, so please sign up to secure your spot.

• Wednesday 24th September 5-7pm
