Show Up & Write
Hyphen Artist Collective
Free in-person & online writing sessions + community chats for hyphenated & global majority creatives
Hyphen Artist Collective is thrilled to be collaborating with Theatro Technis @26 Crowndale to run in-person & online sessions for writers called SHOW UP & WRITE as featured in THE STAGE and BROADWAY WORLD UK.
A series of sessions where writers attend in-person or Zoom/online sessions and simply write for three hours and then come together for one hour to connect and discuss all things writing. Often our busy schedules distract us from finding time to commit to writing what we want to write. SHOW UP & WRITE gives us the chance to commit and stick to that commitment.
Writing can be a lonely pursuit; this opportunity gives us a chance to write in a community.
IN PERSON: Attend a 3-hour free-writing session at Theatro Technis (26 Crowndale Rd, NW1 1TT). Then come together for an additional hour to discuss all things writing: challenges & successes. We are capping the in-person sessions to 12 writers based on the space provided.
ZOOM: Check in at the top of the session with a wave at 2pm. Microphones off for the 3-hour writing period, but we encourage you to keep your camera on to stay on task. Then stay after for the hour discussion. Zoom sessions will be capped at 15 writers.
COST: No cost! Free to join!
WHEN: SUNDAYS JUNE 15th, JUNE 22ND, JULY 20TH, JULY 27TH 2025
2pm to 5pm: Writing - 5pm to 6pm: Community session/discussion
Discussions will be facilitated by Hyphen Artist Collective members.
HOW TO APPLY: We welcome writers with a “hyphenated” artist skill set or cultural background OR MENA+/SWANA writers to apply. We encourage Global Majority, Migrant and/or Underrepresented hyphenated artists to apply. Writers of all levels and experience are welcome. Please email HyphenArtistCollective@gmail.com sharing a bit about yourself with your contact information and whether you wish to attend in-person or Zoom sessions. We’d love to hear about what you’re working on.
ABOUT
Hyphen Artist Collective celebrates hyphenated artists who have more than one skill set or passion or culture. In an industry that often pushes us to choose or be categorised as one career or identity over another, we encourage and applaud those artists from all over who work all over the industry. Are you a polycultural performer/writer/carpenter? BRAVA! Are you a migrant singer/stage manager/designer? BRAVO! We are not one, but many.
