SUMMARY:WORDPLAY  A writing workshop in celebration of creativity and wonder
DESCRIPTION:In a time of busy schedules\, and places to be and people to see\, it can be hard to find the time to simply play. WORDPLAY is a writing play group\, a time in your week reserved for you — a time to connect with the wonder that lies at the heart of words and where they can take us. \nFor a period of six weeks we will meet for two hours of writing projects and prompts designed to welcome the unexpected\, the spontaneous\, and the serendipitous\, culminating in an evening of readings on the last night. \nWhether you are a poet\, a fiction or non-fiction writer\, an aspiring writer\, a musician or a visual or performance artist\, or simply someone who loves the joy of words\, or even scrabble\, boggle or crossword puzzles\, this is an opportunity to entertain what it means to revel\, gambol and cut loose with language. \nWorkshop leader: Carolyn Boll\nA trained dancer\, and recipient of several Canada Council and Quebec multi-media and choreography grants\, author Carolyn Boll is a graduate of The Humber School for Writers. Her poems and short stories have appeared in Lavender Review\, The Gay & Lesbian Review\, and Mayday Magazine\, and her non-fiction writing has appeared in The Dance Current and The Montreal Gazette. Her first book\, a playful partnering between poetry\, image and dance\, is called Social Dance A Book of Ballroom Poetry and was published by Sally Jane Books\, the specialty imprint of indie publisher Headmistress Press.

SUMMARY:Write Now: A Playwriting Intensive to Jumpstart Your Play
DESCRIPTION:Photo credit: Sabrina Reeves\nThis workshop will give budding and experienced playwrights a forum in which to hear their work read aloud and have it commented on\, supported\, and developed. Limited to 12 participants. \nThis 8-week workshop is designed to get your play out of your head and onto the page. Through a combination of in-class writing exercises and reading scripts aloud\, it will allow playwrights to take their scripts to the next level. \nTopics covered will include: \n\nCharacter development\nStructure\nDialogue\nStakes\nRe-writes.\n\nEach week\, selected participants will bring in sections of their work for feedback. \nThe workshop will be more fun and useful to participants who have a play that they are already working on\, a few scenes\, or at the very least\, an outline of the idea they wish to pursue. It may be of particular interest (and complementary) to those who have taken an Introduction to Playwriting workshop. Participants can expect to come out of the workshop with a more developed script as well as tools for carrying on with their work and some ideas/suggestions of where to go and what to do with a finished draft.
