Imagination –Writing Dialogue for the Stage Workshop

April 22-27, 2025, 11:00 am-12:30 pm ET

Join us for this Imagination festival workshop!

How does dialogue work in the theatre, and how does it relate to character and action? Join playwright Leanna Brodie for this workshop to find out! With a mix of theory and hands-on exercises, explore various approaches to writing for multiple voices and generating text for the stage.

Leanna Brodie is an award-winning performer and writer whose plays include The Vic, For Home and Country, The Book of Esther, and Schoolhouse, which have been performed across Canada. Most recently, Salesman in China, written in collaboration with Jovanni Sy, premiered at the Stratford Festival and National Arts Centre to great acclaim, winning the Quebec Writers’ Federation Prize for best new play. Brodie is also a leading translator of Québécois and Franco-Canadian playwrights.

Organized by the Imagination Writers’ Festival in partnership with QWF’s Writers Out Loud series.
