Join Jen McGrath on Saturday, November 5 at Golden Jubilee Hall in Sussex from 10 am to 2 pm for an expanded version of the workshop she gave at WordSpring this past June, 2022 at St. Thomas University. Jen will give us a bit more detail about the creative process, the art and craft of writing a ‘deceptively simple’ picture book text; the realities of the Canadian children’s book publishing industry; trends and considerations; pitching editors; and why picture books are for everyone.
As an added bonus, Jen will add an “Ask Me Anything!” segment at the end of workshop. So, bring your questions about the industry, and your own projects, whether they be storybook or middle grade manuscripts.
Lunch is on your own–feel free to brown bag it, or visit local restaurants. Coffee, tea, water and nibbles will be provided for breaks.
In this workshop, Wei Qing will share tips and tricks for their work and studies in the art of Stage Management. The workshop will explore the role of Stage Manager in the production team, uncover key skills and tools that enable a stage management team to thrive and understanding the importance of management in a room. Collaboration, curiosity, and connection will root the discussions in this workshop.
Wei Qing will come to the workshop with key points, stories and paperwork to share – but the workshop will also be adapted to those who attend and the interests of the room. Wei Qing is also interested in having discussions about decolonizing the practice of stage management and invites anyone who’d like to talk about stage management or the process of creating theatre to attend!
