2-day Online Programe
11th and 12th June   

A two-day programme taking a detailed look at how skilled Dialogue can massively enhance your story and script

Over 4 x 90 minute sessions we will examine not only the key principles of good Dialogue, but also how the best stories communicate information. 
By concentrating on subtext, exposition and symbolism you will leave with a clear understanding of how information is communicated, both aurally and otherwise. Also, how Dialogue, used badly, can completely destroy a story, but used well, can transform your work

With numerous examples from film and television and a number of practical exercises, John Yorke builds on his popular and successful MediaXchange courses – Storytelling for Scripted TV,  Advanced Structure an Developing a Series, to bring a brand new series of lectures to the table
