Brenda also enjoys encouraging others to be creative and write.
She has run writing workshops with students at University of Bristol and University of Bath, and in March 2025 delivered workshops for young people around playwriting & looking after yourself in the industry, funded by WECA.
Brenda led an Intro to Playwriting workshop at The Writers Block in Redruth. Alongside the tour of her play Gluck’s Flowers, she ran workshops around writing from archives with a queer lens. She also covered a temporary poetry group for people with learning disabilities at Misfits Theatre. She is currently looking at trying to create a more long term free writing group in Bristol.
She has facilitation experience with young people and PWLD, and is interested in supportive, inclusive creative activities.
She also enjoys giving 1:1 dramaturgy support. She was dramaturg on The 97%, a short play by Oli Grant, and a drag show about gender for a Creative Futures sharing. She is currently offering dramaturgy support to young people through WECA, and is looking for more dramaturgy sessions in the future.
Please get in touch if you’d like to hear more, or have any workshop or dramaturgy opportunities.
