Stage and Theatre

We are developing a project that takes theatre to non-metropolitan areas, with plays written in the vernacular by strolling bands of players.

This project offers a unique approach to buying media targeted to the lower LSM groups.  Contact us for more details.

 

Radio

We offer tailor-made courses in:

bullet Audience analysis.
bullet Format design.
bullet Audience research.

Scripting

Our approach to script training is unique.  We are totally opposed to "script workshops" as we have never seen evidence that they work unless they take the form of "master classes" for advanced writers.

Our approach develops the craft, teaching formats and structures from Aristotle through the modern Hollywood format.

We then start working on creativity and use a unique mode of "visualisation" that promotes the ability to "see" the script structure as well as the visual appearance on the screen or the stage. For more on this, click here.

We use the concept of "seeing in the mind" all the inter-related parts of the script:

bullet Structure
bullet Plot
bullet Characterisation.
bullet Suspense.
bullet Links
bullet Hooks.
