Story Ideas Workshop: Sunday 17 Aug, 1-3pm, at Derby Museum
After a busy couple of months, we’re getting back to the foundations of all great scripts- a strong story idea- with a workshop hosted by expert scriptwriter and tutor Tina Jay, and there’s a few tickets available for non-members too.
The workshop will focus on how to find and develop story ideas to create an effectively structured outline for a dramatically engaging script. We’re really looking forward to shaping our story ideas ready for members to discuss and help develop into the second half of 2025 and beyond!
If you’re interested in joining us, we have a few non-member tickets available – click here to find out more.
