LET'S TALK: WRITING DIALOGUE

SATURDAY SCHOOL - FULL DAY WORKSHOP

"Here's looking at you kid" from Casablanca. "Show me the money!" from Jerry Maguire.  "Did I do that?" from Family Matters. "Winter is coming" from Game of Thrones. "Yabba dabba doo!" from The Flintstones. "Whatcha talkin' bout, Willis?" from Diff'rent Strokes. “May the Force be with you” from Star Wars. Great dialogue can pierce through the proverbial noise of life and deliver to audiences meaning and emotion and connection that transcends time and space. And bad dialogue can feel like a pin popping a balloon. And we all know it when we see it. Dialogue that over explain things. Dialogue that sounds like a research paper. Dialogue that doesn't capture the voice or times or personalities of its characters in the least bit. Dialogue that goes on and on without end. This workshop will help you develop a keen eye for finding the voice of your characters, saying the most in the least amount of words, and leaving your audiences mesmerized. In short, we want you to write great dialogue. And ditch the bad stuff. 

Led by renowned Head Writer, Showunner and Executive Producer, Busisiwe Ntintili.
