Building Dramatic Characters

October 31, 2022 by Varsha Seshan Leave a Comment

We’re coming to the end of our drama module at my creative writing programme, so it’s time for a drama workshop! This time, I have invited Neha Singh, a children’s author, theatre practitioner, storyteller and women’s rights activist. This session promises to be dramatic and fun, so come prepared with everyday props like a dupatta, hat, sunglasses, or anything else that catches your fancy!

As this is a guest session at my writing programme, participants who are part of my current batches will be part of it at no additional cost. However, this session is also open to non-participants on payment of a fee of ₹400.

Staging a Script

November 5, 2021 by Varsha Seshan Leave a Comment

The next writing workshop is here! It will be conducted by Lav Kanoi – actor and musician, writer and translator, anthropologist and academic. Lav is currently doing his PhD at Yale. He is an experienced translator and has published translations from Latin to English, and from Bengali and English to Hindi.
Why do we tell stories out loud? How does one read a script? And how does one script a story? These are some of the questions Lav will address.
‘Staging a Script’ is a guest session at my writing programme, and those who are part of my current batches will join it at no additional cost. However, this session is also open to non-participants on payment of a fee.

Outstanding. To create passion like this and alternate between expressed passion and subdued passion is incredible. Miss Julie – headstrong and confused – wavering between strength and weakness – is […]
