Voice in Fiction & Theatre with Rose Biggin

Tuesday 26th April 2022

6pm – 7.30pm

ONLINE

I

nsights from writer and performer, Rose Biggin, on how to use voice, across all its meanings, to develop your creative practice.

Voice can mean anything from tone, style, to outlook, and doesn’t end with the spoken or written word, it can be a way to frame readings of any ‘text’ - dance, theatre, you name it. Rose unpicks tips from her various writing practices and beyond to help anyone working with their own creativity.

Rose has experience with short fiction, plays and live art, jokes for Radio 4, novels on theatrical themes, adaptations -- from book to stage and back again -- and academic research into story structure and immersive theatre. Expect to cover topics like working with expectations, bending and subverting narratives, character and autobiography, collaboration and co-writing, cutting across the noise, borrowing existing characters, and textual politics.

This session will be relaxed throughout, providing the opportunity for you to ask as many questions as you like. 

This online event is FREE TO attend. It will take place via Zoom. Places are LIMITED.
