"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly... Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed… Our lives begin to end the moment you become silent about things that matter." —Martin Luther King, Jr.

How is a script or a play made? How do they differ and what is a good story or scene? Sometimes it's a long way from the first idea to the finished book. In addition to Anna Winger's work, the workshop gives an insight into the processes involved in creating a script and the basics of scenic writing. This offers the opportunity to design your own ideas or texts for stage and film.
