Free creative writing workshops for Autistic writers aged 18+ in the North of England (Derby and Nottingham included).
Join Gemma Lees and Via MacNab for a series of twice-a-month creative writing workshops. Workshops take place online for 1.5 hours at a time and are 100% free. Each session, Gemma and Via will walk you through creative writing exercises to inspire you and encourage your creativity, after which you will have the option to share your writing if you would like among likeminded writers in a safe and open environment.
This group is for Autistic adults in the North of England. Led by Romany Gypsy poet Gemma Lees, we offer a warm welcome to all - with a special invitation to GRTSB (Gypsy, Roma, Traveller, Showmen & Boater) communities.

Open Call for Performers (Ages 18–25)
Unity is inviting performers aged 18–25 to take part in an exciting, free opportunity to train and create in a professional theatre environment. You will work with experienced practitioners from Ugly Bucket and Tmesis Theatre to devise an original, radical piece of theatre.
This project is part of Unity’s Heritage Lottery funded programme, exploring both the history and the future of radical theatre-making. It is ideal for emerging performers who are curious, collaborative, and passionate.
