Playwrighting/Creative Writing Tutor
by Tim Collingwood 13 Mar '21

13 Mar '21

Signs are signaling towards a return to the social interactions of theatre and film by the end of this year and next year, and maybe it's time for you to return to that play or screenplay or novel you have been putting off. Or, you have been writing this whole time and just need a fresh pair of eyes to go over it with you. Or, maybe it's a combination of these two realities. There is still creativity in you. As an emerging playwright, I can help you find your voice in your written work. I can encourage you to explore beyond what you have already explored in your work. I can offer constructive feedback to develop your work further, based on goals you have for the play, short story, and novel you are writing. If the work just needs to be read by someone else, I can offer that as well. Fleshing out your literary voice and encouraging it to grow is important to me. If you would like to be tutored, please respond to this email. Sessions can be made on Zoom, Jitsi, or Facebook video through Messenger. $15/session, sliding scale as necessary. Once a session is set up, details to pay will be discussed, as well as developing a shared agreement that supports your writing with your needs with my skills to mentor your work as you need. Tim Collingwood is a local actor, playwright, writer, and stage manager in the Cleveland area. He received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Theatre and English from Cleveland State University in 2010. His plays have been workshopped at Cleveland Public Theatre in their Entry Point series in 2019 and Leap/Conceive series in 2012, Talespinner Children’s Theatre’s PLAYground series in 2019, the Manhattan Project: Cleveland in 2017, OddyTheatreLab in 2011 . He is a member of Cleveland Public Theatre’s Dark Room monthly workshops. From 2015-2016, he was a member of Ensemble Theater’s Stagewrights program. He has written articles for Howlround on disability justice in theatre in 2019 and 2017 and has an essay in the recently published book Diversity, Inclusion, and Representation in Contemporary Dramaturgy: Case Studies From the Field.

Seeking an actor for the following role for a Zoom reading of "The Last Days of Judas Iscariot" by Stephen Adly Guirgis, to be performed in the evenings of April 2 and 3, 2021.
