Davina Moss, Literary Manager at the Sherman Theatre, joins us to lead a dynamic session focused on developing new ideas for the stage.

Drawing on her extensive experience supporting writers and directors in the creation of bold, original work, Davina will guide participants through key questions to ask when conceiving a new play. The workshop will explore how to spark ideas with the potential to become a play, and offer techniques to creating bold and original characters.

This session is ideal for playwrights, directors interested in new writing, and anyone with a passion for dramaturgy. It promises to be a valuable opportunity to rigorously examine the creative process and collaborate in the development of compelling new theatre. There will be space allocated for questions about the Sherman and playwriting in Wales.

Davina Moss is the Literary Manager at the Sherman Theatre, Cardiff, where she has worked as dramaturg on a number of critically acclaimed productions and supported the development of award-winning playwrights. Recent projects include Hot Chicks by Rebecca Hammond, The Women of Llanrumney by Azuka Oforka. Prior to joining the Sherman, Davina was Literary Manager at Hampstead Theatre, London and has also worked as a dramaturg at the Public Theater (New York) and the Liverpool Everyman and Playhouse.

Stiwdio Clwyd joins forces with the team at Stand Tall for a special workshop on collaboration, improvisation and artistic instinct.

Come and explore how improv brings people together– through spontaneity, trust, and shared creativity. We’ll explore both dialogue and body language through games, revealing the power of working together to build realities. It’s not just about performance - it’s about presence, possibility, and community. This session is suitable for writers, directors, producers, actors, musicians and all those in between. No experience needed – just yourself!

Spend an afternoon with Billy and the rest of the Stiwdio Clwyd team to explore artistry, your expressive voice and the meeting point between our lives as creatives and colleagues. We’ll use movement to spark conversation but you don’t need to be a professional, there will also be moments to sketch, write or discuss.

Got an idea you’re trying to work through? Or unsure where to begin? Or just keen to connect with the rest of the artists around you? Come along and use this session as your creative reset!
