What is Write From the Hip?
The Hip program is a series of weekly workshops, mentoring and hands-on seminars in writing skills and professional play development specifically designed for young writers. Write From the Hip participants walk away with a reinforced belief in themselves, their stories and their writing abilities. Over a 5-month period (March to July, 2009), each participant completes a new short work that is workshopped and staged with professional actors and directors on the final night of the program.
