Mentoring for Young Writers and Directors.

Kildare County Council and Riverbank Arts Centre are looking for emerging writers and directors (up to age 25) from anywhere in Ireland, to take part in a new mentoring programme, run in association with Fishamble: The New Play Company.

The programme will take place over a period of ten months, with meetings taking place once a month, and will have two strands.

Strand 1: Writers
Participants will work with Gavin Kostick, Literary Manager with Fishamble: The New Play Company, to look at different writing styles and techniques to assist their creative development.
The mentor will also offer constructive criticism and feedback on work created in that time.

Part of the mentoring programme will include directing master classes with Jim Culleton, Artistic Director with Fishamble: The New Play Company.  Artists will also be encouraged to direct throughout the programme in order for their mentors to offer personal feedback on their directing process and to assist their creative development.
