Mentoring and Workshops
I offer creative mentoring, both online and in-person, to suit the individual. I work with you to open creative channels, explore ideas, fully inhabit your imaginal world and subdue the inner critic.
I draw on years of experience in writing for stage and page, training in dramaturgy and script development, teaching creative writing in various settings, professional copywriting and more recently, working as a trainee therapist.
I offer four basic services, with room for mix and match:
1. Creative mentoring – for writers and creatives of all stripes, I help you find, expand and clarify ideas, ask exploratory questions and offer thoughts and feedback on your work.
2. ImaginALL exploration – daydream for life! Using a mixture of verbal and written exercises designed to help you fully explore the rich and boundless world of your imagination, this is a restorative and enriching practice that can be used to generate and energise creative work as well as your everyday life.
3. Editing and dramaturgy – I help to hone your work, whether that be a manuscript, performance, film or album. We will work together on cohesion, structure, arc, the audience / reader experience, efficiency, pace, space and tone, as well as more granular choices around punctuation, syntax and grammar.
4. Group workshops – ImaginALL exploration for groups of creative colleagues and collaborators (a theatre company for example), activists, or groups of friends and communities wanting to try a new way to explore creative ideas, find new ways to relate, connect, imagine and BE.
