Open Submissions Workshops #1: An Introduction

Published: May 13, 2020, 12:02 p.m.

Welcome to the first session in our new Open Submissions Workshop series! Over the next 16 weeks, the Traverse will be producing a series of Open Submissions Workshops that you can view and listen to for free from anywhere in the world. Each week a professional playwright or theatremaker, both established and early career, will deliver a workshop on a particular aspect of the writing process, and elements of particular consideration for writers, aiming to practically and proactively support writers through the process of having an initial idea for a script to pitching their script to a theatre. This first workshop covers what you can expect from the Open Submissions Workshop series, some more information about the Traverse Theatre, exactly what's involved in our Open Submissions initiative, and what we're on the lookout for. If you have a for Eleanor to answer in next week's session, tweet it to @traversetheatre or email writing@traverse.co.uk by Mon 18 May and we'll do our best to get it answered! - - - - - - - - - - To find out more about and help support the Traverse's talent development work, visit https://www.traverse.co.uk/support-us - - - - - - - - - - The Traverse Theatre is supported by Creative Scotland and the City of Edinburgh Council.
