Learn how to perform your writing on stage and to be interviewed on stage.
Writers! Would you like to feel more confident when reading your work aloud? To bring the emotional life, imagery and rhythm of your writing you imagine at your desk, as fully to life for your audience? And to feel more at ease when speaking about your work on stage, on radio, or in recorded formats?
Then this relaxed and supportive theatre-based workshop is designed for writers like you who want to develop confidence, vocal skills and stage presence for public readings, interviews and performance. Whether you experience nerves, stage fright, or simply want to sharpen your delivery, From Page to Podium offers practical tools in a warm, fun and encouraging environment.
It is also suitable for actors and other performing arts artists who would like to hone their stage personna and their skills in reading on stage. Whereas writers might read their orginial work these artists could instead workshop writing by their favourite writers. These skills might be very useful to actors at staged readings and in radio work.
Led by theatre maker and emerging radio producer Alice Coghlan, From Page to Podium takes place in the beautiful Georgian rooms of the Irish Writers Centre. Across four Saturdays, writers and artists will explore voice, breath, physical resonance, physical presence, microphone technique and performance skills, culminating in a public showcase of their work for invited friends and family on the last afternoon.
Our work together blends classical actor training, creative play and peer support, empowering writers to step confidently from the page to the podium – and best of all to enjoy being there.
