Event Summary

A 4-Week online Creative Writing Course to deepen your practice, sharpen your craft and expand the way you think about character, structure and world.

Event Description

A 4-Week Creative Writing Course with Christopher Finnegan-Wright. This online course isn't about promising you a playwrighting commission deal. It isn't about shortcuts. It's about deepening your practice, sharpening your craft and expanding the way you think about character, structure and world. Across four weekly sessions (1hr 30mins each), we'll explore the core architecture of powerful storytelling: Week 1 - Character Devising & Development Building psychologically and socially layered characters rooted in truth, contradiction and lived experience. Week 2 - Monologues & Duologues Voice, rhythm and dramatic tension - writing dialogue that carries subtext, stakes and emotional charge. Week 3 - Conflict, Stakes & Story Shape Dramatic propulsion. Internal vs external conflict. Structural choices that shape audience experience. Week 4 - World Building Constructing coherent social, emotional and political landscapes - from intimate realism to expansive mythic systems. Throughout the course, we centre: Representation and authorship Mental health and social context Play as a serious creative tool Structurally conscious storytelling This is a space for rigour without ego. For experimentation without judgement. For writers at the beginning of their journey and those looking to refine and challenge their existing practice. No formal experience required - but curiosity and commitment are essential. Cost: All 4 sessions - £60.00 (£50 early bird price) Drop-in - £16.00
