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 twenty 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.
An experienced project manager and fundraiser, I have spent my life cooking up creative ideas and seeing them through to fruition.
I offer five 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 – dream yourself alive! Designed to help you fully explore the rich and boundless world of your imagination and using a mixture of verbal, somatic and written exercises, 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 look 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.
5. Story walking – we walk, you talk, a story unfolds.
