Masterclass: Screenwriting
Crafting your idea into a compelling TV script

Join award-winning playwright Ella Hickson for a session that forms part of Arvon’s ‘How to Teach Creative Writing’ Masterclass series. Whether you are a playwright or scriptwriter looking for professional development, or a teacher in a secondary school or college wanting a boost of creative inspiration, this Masterclass is aimed at anyone interested in developing their skills in, and enjoyment of, teaching playwriting to adults or young people.
What is the key to doing this effectively? And how do you invent a workshop that is entirely your own, with your exercises, your games, your energy? Doing so is a creative, personal act and can often be as original and fulfilling as the writing itself, reigniting your own wonder and passion and expanding your support network of creative peers.
Ella provides the tools, techniques and boost that you need to refresh and inspire your teaching practice. You’ll find renewed energy and plenty of ideas for how to bring a fresh perspective to playwriting.

"These zoom opportunities are really helping to open my world and keep me inspired to write."— Masterclass participant
"Arvon at Home creates a model to participate in inspirational tutoring for writers, at a distance. The feeling of attending to my writing life in an excellent fashion, and still having a half-day for my work and caring responsibilities at home, felt like a good balance."— Masterclass participant
"It was an absolutely brilliant session and very very useful. And it made me realise how much I’ve missed this kind of workshop because of having children and family that I can’t leave. Now we’re all in the same boat the online stuff is truly transformative."— Masterclass participant
