Community SIRENS 2-5 October 2022
An opportunity for self-defined early career writers

ArtfulScribe, in partnership with MAST Mayflower Studios and Cape Farewell, are recruiting a team of self-defined early career writers to devise new work in response to climate science.

In this project you will have the opportunity to learn more about the climate emergency from leading scientists, discuss your ideas and collaborate with like-minded writers. There will be creative provocations, guidance, and space to develop your own creative response to this global challenge.

You will spend a weekend (10am-4pm Oct 1st & 2nd) developing your ideas, presenting a work in progress for critique and feedback on Tuesday 4th Oct (6pm-8pm) before sharing in a short Scratch Performance, opening the show for Cape Farewell's Climate SIRENS in the eve of Wed 5 October at MAST Mayflower Studios.

If you would like to find out more, please contact matt@artfulscribe.co.uk
