Building a Character
27th June
2:30-4:30pm
Join award-winning writer Sadie Clark to explore the key building blocks required to create compelling characters for your play, TV pilot or film.
Through guided discussions and a series of writing exercises this workshop will support participants to develop well-rounded and, perhaps most importantly, flawed characters that your audiences will root for.
This is a hands-on (or pens-down!) workshop with an emphasis on generating material. The workshop is open to all, whether you have written in some format before, or not at all.
About the workshop leader:
Sadie Clark is an award-winning writer and performer based in West Yorkshire. Her writing explores big themes through an intimate lens, blending whip-smart observations with relatable emotional insights.
Her debut play ALGORITHMS, a ‘bisexual Bridget Jones for the online generation’, sold out at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2019 before transferring to Soho Theatre (2020, 2021) and the Park Theatre (2024). ALGORITHMS won the TV Foundation’s Netflix Supported ‘Stage to Screen’ New Voice Award (2020), and was long-listed for the Tony Craze Award (2018). In 2021 Audible commissioned Sadie to adapt ALGORITHMS into a six-part original audio series which she starred in, alongside Alison Steadman, Desiree Birch and Joe Thomas. This audio adaptation, released in 2022, won a Silver ARIAS for ‘Best Drama’ (2023) and was shortlisted for the BBC Audio Drama Awards (2023).
This workshop is priced on a sliding scale. Please select the pricing option most appropriate to your situation.
