Rose Participate Scriptwriting Course

As a participant on this course, you will learn the core elements of the scriptwriting craft and develop a short Final Project piece to be showcased on the final day. You will explore how to craft engaging characters, use story structure effectively, and how to write exciting scenes and dialogue. You will also learn about the different types of scripts and how to format them, and about the scriptwriting industry. You will rehearse with fantastic professional directors and actors to showcase your Final Project, which you will write throughout the week under the supervision of your course leader.

You will work with Nicole Burley, course leader and playwright, the Participate team who will support you at your final showcase, and professional directors and actors who will join on the final day of the course for the rehearsed reading.

Nicole has been writing for stage for four years, having previously worked as a theatre director and youth theatre practitioner. She completed her Professional Writing MA at Falmouth University in 2023 and has recently written a stage adaptation of The Iliad for the Rose Young Company. She is currently developing her own screen projects and delivering writing workshops for young people.
