✨This evening our @YVTakingPart team is hosting our 2nd #NeighbourhoodVoices session over Zoom, this is our 1st Guest Session & the special guest is none other than @kwamekweiarmah

#NeighbourhoodVoices is @YVTakingPart's free intensive playwrighting programme 'for 1st time writers, emerging writers & those who didn't realise they were a writer' ✏️

The programme gives participants the chance to write a full script, receive feedback & have a monologue from that script performed & directed by a professional company at the YV ✏️#NeighbourhoodVoices

The sessions starts with @KwameKweiArmahasking participants to think about, 'what's a question you have which can only be found out by writing?' #NeighbourhoodVoices

Kwame talks about 'The Active Question', an important tool when writing a play. That burning, active question that keeps bouncing throughout the narrative, that eventually gets answered #NeighbourhoodVoices

'There is no such thing as a singular truth. Your job as a writer is to tell the version of the truth that you want to highlight at that moment in time' #NeighbourhoodVoices
