Event Details

 

Writers' Block finally has a home and we'd like you to come and celebrate with us on Friday 2nd July 2010! 

 

Our doors open at 1pm for a prompt start at 1.30pm. So far our confirmed guests include representatives from the BBC Writersroom North, Northern Film & Media and Live Theatre, and they'll be running Q and A’s with a range of successful novelists, screenwriters, poets and playwrights from the region. 

 

You will gain valuable insight into how some of the region’s most successful writers got their first big break, learn about their top tips and working practices and hear about the many opportunities available to writers of all levels, straight from the people who can help you.

 

This will be followed by a chance to see some of the work produced by Writers' Block members so far, and learn from the feedback given by our expert panel.

 

Then you will have the opportunity to participate in a 1-hour writing challenge, working in groups with experienced practitioners and producing either a short film, a play, a comedy sketch, a performance poem or a 'zine. 

 

At 5.30pm we'll take a quick break for everyone to go out and find some food (giving us some time to edit the short film and rehearse the play and sketch!) and then we'll come back together at 7.30pm, when the celebrations continue at Blu Bar on Albert Road. There will be networking opportunities, performances by an amazing line up of local talent including stand-ups, performance poets, ventriloquists and award-winning novelists, and there’ll be a whole range of writing challenges (look out for the helium balloons) to keep us busy ‘til the doors close at 10.30pm. 

 

THESE TICKETS ARE FOR THE DAYTIME PART OF THE EVENT ONLY. We're capping numbers at 60 for the day event - so please only sign up if you're sure you can attend! The evening event is free for everyone to attend. We hope to see you all there - for the start of something really special! 

 

Hooray for Writers' Block North East!
