Monday 3rd Feb @ 7pm

The Feedback Process

Script Reading and discussion

ZOOM

At this first workshop for 2025, MWT actors will read the short play ‘Second Chance’ written by Hayden Dun (pictured) and then participate in an actor-writer-dramaturg feedback session. This lively, engaging script was developed, workshopped and then showcased during Gasworks Script Lab 2024. It has received further redrafting since then, and provides an excellent example of how constructive feedback from artists and peers can be drawn on to further improve a script. To register for this session, please email us by midday on Friday 31st Jan at melbournewriterstheatre@gmail.com

In 2025 our Workshops will run on Zoom from 7pm – 8pm on the first MONDAY of the month. These free monthly online sessions offer an excellent opportunity for MWT playwrights living in all parts of Victoria to refresh existing writing skills and develop new skills. At the end of each 60-minute Workshop, attendees can choose to stay online for a chat with others.

Registration is required for all Workshops, with session summaries and RSVP dates announced on this page and in the MWT Playbill.
