WLPG is delighted to be working with the festival organizers on three events.

In coordination with IIAN, one event is a conversation and exploration of playwriting by, for, and about persons with disabilities or neurodiversity.

The other two are ‘playwright slams’, in which writers speak short monologues that they’ve written related to the festival’s ‘Turning Point’ theme, with a special emphasis on emerging writers from the region.

Expanding Our Network

We are eager to expand our membership to include both emerging and established playwrights for young audiences from all parts of the world. If you’re interested: https://www.writelocalplayglobal.org/#subscribe

If you are interested in becoming a “WLPG Ambassador” – not a large commitment, just helping us spread info to a broader audience, please email us at wlpg.tya@gmail.com

Journey To A New Land, a collective story from the Cradle of Creativity Festival in Jo-Burg this past August 2023.

The post Write Local. Play Global Network Updates appeared first on ASSITEJ International.

You are invited to write a 3-minute theatrical monologue using the festival’s theme.

Are you experiencing a personal turning point? Is there one in your country or region?  Is there a turning point you would like the world to make?

The monologues should be written in your home language.  A panel of judges will choose a number of pieces which the writers will deliver in person at the festival.  All monologues submitted will be published online on the Write Local. Play Global website, in your home language and an English translation if you would like.

The post Open Call: WLPG Programme at ASSITEJ Artistic Gathering 2023 appeared first on ASSITEJ International.

Tema ovogodišnje Svetske konferencije izvođačkih umetnosti za decu i mlade (ASSITEJ Artistic Gathering) u Srbiji je “Prekretnica”. Pozivamo vas da napišete trominutni dramski monolog na temu PREKRETNICE. Ona može biti vrlo široko shvaćena – Da li preživljavate neku ličnu prekretnicu? Da li se vaša zemlja ili region nalaze na prekretnici? Da li se svet nalazi na prekretnici i u kom pravcu biste voleli da ona bude?

Monolozi se pišu na maternjem jeziku. Grupa selektora će odabrati molonoge koje će pisci lično izvoditi u okviru konferencije, takođe na maternjem jeziku. Svi predati monolozi će biti objavljeni online na sajtu WLPG mreže, na vašem maternjem i engleskom jeziku (ukoliko želite). Za pisce odabranih tekstova, ukoliko to žele, nudimo mogućnost online radionice za prevođenje monologa na engleski jezik, koju će voditi predstavnici svetske WLPG mreže, predvođeni jednim od njenih osnivača, Kim Piterom Kovačem.

Ako ste zainteresovani da učestvujete u još jednom zanimljivom SLAM izdanju mreže WLPG molimo da preuzmete i  ispunite formular,  i pošaljete ga na info@assitejsrbija.org.rs.
