Detective, hostage negotiator and tango dancer: this workshop promises to help you become all three. Emily Duncan, award-winning playwright/dramaturg and 2019 Burns Fellow, explains: “Some of the most fun I’ve had when writing is figuring out character shifts and strategies. The stakes are set as high as you want, and every risk has a pay-off. You get to be detective, hostage negotiator, and tango dancer all rolled into one.”

Duncan is keen to help you strong-arm misbehaving characters into place. Best suited to those who already have an idea for a stage play or an early draft.

Thursday 9 May, 10.00am–12 noon
Dunningham Suite, Dunedin City Library
Price: $45
