Audio drama is unlike anything else: it taps into the theatre of the mind, and is one of the most nimble, versatile, and imaginative ways to tell stories. But what goes into writing an audio play? What unique opportunities and challenges does it present compared to other forms? What does it mean to think and craft worlds in sound?
In this workshop, we'll explore these questions through a combination of listening, discussion, and writing exercises geared to get you thinking in sound and harnessing the unique qualities of audio drama.
This 2-part online workshop is open to writers of all backgrounds and experience levels keen to explore writing for audio. It is facilitated by writer Joel Tan, with the support of Artwave Studio.
