Words Allowed with Dave Lordan is a workshop for teenage writers designed to build creative confidence and expressive ability.

Back by popular demand, Dave Lordan’s legendary Words Allowed workshop for teenage writers returns to the festival in 2017 for the 7th year in a row. Designed to build the creative confidence and expressive ability of teenagers with an interest in writing, it combines a high-energy workshop approach with talks and Q&A sessions.

In an atmosphere of group support and encouragement for individual creativity, each participant will be facilitated to pursue their own writing interests and to generate new work. The week will be rounded off with a special showcase reading of the participants’ work.

Topics covered:

-Discussions on being a writer in the contemporary world where multimedia technologies and performance writing are assuming more importance alongside traditional book publishing.

-Exploring traditional forms like poem, story, & song

-Essentials in YouTube and online video production
