Another great group

Tags: , , , , , , , , ,

Wet Ink just concluded another awesome five week playwright’s circle at PTC.

The discussion, feedback, and chance to focus on our writing with

like minded souls offering encouragement and insights is fantastic.

Also we have initiated an informal practice

of attending plays together, as part of

our group experience and we hope to build on this.

We have seem some amazing theatre in Vancouver this year.

groundbreaking, moving, entertaining, and even wildly

experimental.

What a great season for theatre in Vancouver it has been.

We have som amazing playwrights in this city.

Wet Ink hopes to support each other in the
journey of becoming amazing playwrights ourselves.

We had two playwrights join us this round–

Leslie Stark and Lesley Ewen–

and lots more women playwrights and playwright performers

expressing interest in participating in the future.

We love our great discussions, supportive feedback and shared inspiration.
.
Now Wet Ink is busy building the dream– and preparing for

more ambitious projects in the future.

We are super excited about our plans–

a writing retreat in the spring–

a new ten week workshop for the fall–
(we will be posting lots of info about that soon. Stay tuned.)

And we are thrilled about our production project for the spring of 2013.

Happy Birthday Antony Holland

Today is Antony Holland’s birthday

and he is turning 92 years young!

One day after World Theatre Day– lets celebrate

with our very own theatrical legend.

As most of the community knows–He was born in 1920 in Devon England–but spent the greater part of his career as a much loved Vancouver film and stage actor– and founder of the celebrated Canadian Theatre School Studio 58
To mark the occasion, what do you think he is doing? If you know him you probably guessed–
He is performing his brand new solo show at his own Theatre–The Centre on Gabriola Island.
The show is called ONE MAN IN HIS TIME. . .the early years. He truly is an inspiration.

Help us celebrate his birthday by leaving a comment below– for him to read after the show.

And please share this post wherever you can. He is not on Facebook but can receive

his birthday messages here. So please post the link on your Facebook page.

He doesn’t know we are doing this today.

Welcome

Wet Ink invites new Playwrights to our group

Tags: , , , , ,

It’s March and spring is around the corner.

We are excited to announce, our third Women’s Playwriting Circle.

If you are a Vancouver area playwright in the process of writing–

or, if you have an idea for a play you want to write–

then maybe you would like to join our group.

We get together weekly and read new work and offer feedback
and support.

We also help each other stay accountable.

If you identify yourself as an emerging playwright,

or if you are a more experienced writer–

or yet again if you are transitioning from some other area

of theatre or film–to a dedicated writing practice

please get in touch.

We have a few spots available.

If you are an absolute beginner and are looking for a class this is not the group for you–

but if you do see yourself as an emerging playwright and have something you are serious

about working on do contact us.

email wetinkcollective@gmail.com and tell us about yourself and what you are working on.

Hope to see you there.
