Workshops
Fifteen years of improvised and collective writing, turned into something teachable. For every kind of audience, with a special emphasis on young people and students.
4–6 hours
Live writing for theatre, with actors in the room. We explore the relationship between the playwright and the performer in both directions: the actor as an inciter of writing, and writing as an inciter of action. Text projected on stage stops being an instrument and becomes character.
4–6 hours
Performative writing in the wider sense. Individual, duo and collective techniques, worked with live music and projection, ending in a public session if the group wants one. Open to any kind of writing.
Everyone introduces themselves by writing. Then individual exercises, then pairs and trios, then the whole group writing one text together. Teams form, rehearse and perform. If the setting allows, the last hour opens to an audience.
We work with real equipment — projectors, prompters, cameras, phones — because the device is part of the dramaturgy.
Universities, schools and festivals; libraries and cultural centres; literature and creative writing programmes; and companies and teams that want a genuinely collective creative experience.
Groups from twelve to thirty. Longer residencies and multi-day formats on request. Available in any language we share with the group.
The methodology and the techniques, built and tested over fifteen years: the catalogue of exercises, the rules that make collective writing work, and the way a session is paced so that a group of strangers ends up writing one text.
A facilitator to conduct it. Live music where the format calls for it. And the technical setup: projection, software and everything that puts the text on the wall.
The writers are the participants. That is the point.

Everyone is welcome at the keyboard. Most people are first timers.
