For anyone who has ever thought Proper Writing is something other people do!

Come and explore your inner muse - it's there, I promise, just needs a little time and some fun and easy exercises to set it free.

We'll try out different ways to tell a story (real or imagined) and see which ones work for you. You'll be surprised at what you achieve in just a couple of hours.

About Kate

Kate Saffin has been writing solo plays based on stories from the waterways since 2000, performing at waterside venues, the Edinburgh fringe, and canal festivals. She has an MFA from the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama in writing for stage and broadcast media.

She also used forms of life writing in her previous life as a researcher in Public Health in the NHS where she developed some tools to make it all much more interesting and real!

We offering our 2021 workshops on a Pay What You Can basis. The minimum payment is £5, after that, the sky's the limit! However, if any amount is difficult for you at the moment we can be flexible and always offer one or two free places. Email us at hello@alarumproductions.org.uk - your request will be treated in confidence and won't be shared with anyone, ever.

The workshop will be via Zoom so you will need a computer with speakers and internet connection. Your computer or laptop should have either a built-in camera and microphone or a webcam so that everyone can see and hear everyone else. A web link will be sent to participants before the workshop. If you haven’t used Zoom before, you will need to download the software here https://zoom.us/support/download and we will make sure everyone is comfortable with it before we begin.

Please note this event has a limited capacity of 10 places – the last one proved very popular so early booking recommended!
