Extant Pathways Writers Showcase

 

16 Pathways Writers completed the course, which included: Pathways Writers Launch and Round Table, masterclasses, mentoring, and preparation for the Pathways Writers Showcase.

Each Pathways Writer had eight sessions with a mentor. Our Pathways Writer Mentors were: Mandy Redvers-Rowe, Daisy Higman, Darren Rapier, Steve Harper, Amy Bethan Evans and Athena Stevens.

All 16 writers presented a five minute duologue at our Pathways Writers Showcase in June 2022, in Studio 4 at Brixton House. Writers were encouraged to work closely with the directors during the rehearsal process, which resulted in some inspiring collaborations.

Our 17^th performance of the Showcase was Open Script by Maria Oshodi. This was a five minute devised performance reflecting on the research that Grace Joseph undertook in 2021-22 -following the Pathways Writers Launch in March 2021 – on access to scripts for visually impaired artists, and starting to look at how the issues raised around access to scripts can be addressed.
