Writing from The Heart: 12 Singaporean Playwrights

Writing from The Heart

"Writing from The Heart" is a workshop on creative writing, creative drawing, and creative drama. There are three available versions of this workshop: one for beginners on the secondary, tertiary, and graduate levels, and another for practitioners. A third version of this workshop is designed as an outreach program to disadvantaged and underserved audiences such as the disabled, the poor and the marginalized, victims of human trafficking, battered women and abused children, drug rehabilitation center residents, child combatants, children in conflict with the law, prisoners, and gang leaders. This third version incorporates creativity and problem awareness, conflict resolution, crisis intervention, trauma therapy, and peacemaking.

12 Singaporean Playwrights

Dear Beverly, De Jun, Ellie, Gabriel, Hajar, Helmi, Li Shan, Mayura, Rachel, Samantha, Serene, and Zoe:

May you re-read this message many years from now and look back fondly at the road not taken, now taken.

This is not a competition. Everyone is in, and no one will be eliminated. I will work with you through the staging of your plays.

Expect my first posts a week from now.

At all times, remember my handknitting tip grafted onto my playwriting: the secret in producing an exquisite masterpiece is your willingess to unravel and start a work over and over again.

Most of you sent me your manuscripts as pdf attachments. Henceforth, please send your revised manuscripts as Word document attachments, so that I can insert notes and highlight passages as necessary.

Your co-adventurer,

Tony
