The BSW Process

These workshops are an opportunity for writers to workshop and share their original works in a low-stakes, collaborative environment. 

Workshops

Writers and their team will have 2-4 weeks to rehearse and revise their work. Rehearsals can be planned to achieve their goals best. At the end of the rehearsal process, a staged reading will be open to the public to share and celebrate the end result! 

One-Night Cold Reads 

These reads are an opportunity for writers to have a single workshop session. It is a great opportunity to hear your work read aloud and have conversations about it with fellow artists!

If you’re interested in staying up-to-date with BSW, fill out this form to join our email list. Or follow our Instagram @blankspacews. And be on the lookout for more fun BSW announcements this week!

Thank you, we look forward to reading your submissions!
