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.

Dramaturgy for TheatreWorks Singapore: _Two Halves Make A Hole_ by Danial

Hello Danial!

First of all, congratulations for providing the well-thought-out and well-located additions to your play.

I suggest that you rephrase passages that have question-and-answer dialogue. Characters speak because of a NEED to speak, not because someone asked them a question and they have to provide an answer.

Do a final trim before submitting this play to TheatreWorks. After they assign your play to a director, he or she will most certainly make cuts due to the constraint of running time. As I advised Nanda regarding his play, you might as well do the initial cuts yourself rather than disagree with what the director decides to cut later.

Other than those, good work!

I hope that I will be in Singapore to watch the staged reading of your play.
