If you\u2019re a storyteller with a vivid imagination whose ideas are larger than life, The Write Journey <\/b>is guaranteed to turn words into action! <\/span><\/p>\n

The Writing Studio\u2019s weekend workshop for screenwriters takes place in Cape Town on November 30 and December 1. From 10am until 6pm.<\/span><\/p>\n

Following in the tradition of 19 years of workshop throughout South Africa, including as guest speaker at this year\u2019s 48Hour Film Project in Johannesburg, master classes at the Sithengi Film and <\/span>TV Market\u2019s Talent Campus, <\/span>as well as the 2012 International Kunjanimation Animation Festival, <\/span>community <\/span>workshops at the\u00a0 Ekhaya Multi Arts Centre in Kwa Mashu as part of their annual Kwa Mashu Film Festival, the workshop is presented by the Daniel Dercksen,\u00a0 celebrating creative freedom in South Africa.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Write Journey <\/span><\/b>looks at mastering the art of plotting your story, defining and developing your premise, concept, theme and characters and taking ownership of the writing process. <\/span><\/p>\n

The motivational and inspirational workshop explores the art of visual narrative and the fundamentals of successful storytelling. <\/span><\/p>\n

Within one weekend sessions budding screenwriters will understand the principles of writing for a visual medium and what it takes to be screenwriter in South Africa.<\/span><\/p>\n

Although the workshop focuses on the art of visual narrative and uses film as a medium, the workshop is ideal for novelists, journalist and writers who would like to master the art of adapting stories into a visual medium.<\/span><\/p>\n

The workshop is ideal for ANYONE with an idea for a story. <\/span><\/p>\n

If there is something or someone you want to write about this is your opportunity to turn thoughts into words.\u00a0 <\/span>Ideas are transformed into concepts that will be reworked into visual narrative filled with action, description and vibrant characters.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

This outcome-based workshop examines the principles of writing for film (including documentaries), television, theatre and fiction and explores the writing process, developing characters and mastering the art of structure. <\/span><\/p>\n

It is a basic workshop that explores the art of storytelling and the craft of writing a universal story that reflects the uniqueness, history and culture of South Africa and Africa.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s about writers connecting with the process of writing productively in their comfort zones and producing South African stories the world wants to experience. <\/span><\/p>\n

The duality of the interactive workshop nurtures creativity: it allows the writer to write instinctively and take an introspective journey into story; it also stimulates writers to write stories connected to their unique cultures, communities, history and experience that reflect the universal human condition. <\/span><\/p>\n

Following the workshop, the writers will be guided through the process of developing their screenplays through The Write Agency<\/b>, and get their drafts shaped for the international film, television and publishing markets. <\/span><\/p>\n
