9 July
TV WRITERS LAB 1 with CLIVE BRADLEY
Central London
£165 + VAT (Raindance members get 15% discount)

This course looks at the essentials of story structure in television drama.

Students bring a project to the class, which will be workshopped in the group each session, from its intitial ‘idea stage’ to the writing of individual scenes.

By the end of the course each student will have a proposal or treatment for their television drama idea. (This can be an idea for a series, serial, single drama, two-parter, etc. The course will concentrate on series structure, but will be flexible depending on the class).

We will use examples from a wide range of British and American television dramas (including Desperate Housewives, The Shield, Six Feet Under, The Sopranos, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, City of Vice, Waking the Dead, The Tudors, etc.)



Clive Bradley has written extensively for television. Most recently he was the lead writer for City of Vice (Channel Four). His drama about the July London bombings, That Summer Day (Children's BBC) won the BAFTA for best children's drama. Other work includes A Harlot's Progress (Channel Four), Last Rights (Channel Four), and The Vice (Carlton/ITV). His film, W∆Z, was released this year, and another, Amini, is in production this autumn. He is currently developing a number of projects.
