Credit: The Other Room<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Cardiff theatres have set up workshops and other events that give aspiring playwrights access to professional training and workspaces. The end goal is to produce a finished, potentially published, piece of theatre.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Other Room at Porter\u2019s (TOR) have many programmes in place to help budding Welsh writers.&nbsp;<em><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"HELA, (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.otherroomtheatre.com\/en\/whats-on\/seasons\/lovesick-21\/hela\/\" target=\"_blank\">HELA,<\/a>&nbsp;<\/em>showing this week, is Mari Izzard\u2019s first professionally produced play.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TOR&#8217;s monthly scratch platform is called SEEN. Amateur playwrights send in their scripts, then actors and directors volunteer to perform the piece in front of a small audience. \u201cIt\u2019s a great way for writers to hear their work aloud for the first time\u201d, says Dan Jones, artistic director at TOR. \u201cWe think it fills a much-needed gap in our Cardiff theatre eco-system\u201d, he added.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Pursuit platform bridges the gap from SEEN level to commission level. This is a year-long development programme for three selected playwrights, where a brand-new play will be created and eventually commissioned. Matthew Holmquist, who runs the platform, said he&#8217;s received about 25 applications and looks forward to starting workshops at the end of the month. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, at the Sherman Theatre The Introduction to Playwriting scheme aims to introduce young people aged 15-18 to writing for the stage. Here, attendees create characters, write scenes and develop ideas for a full-length play. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These taster sessions are part of a research and development course which runs next year.&nbsp;Such sessions have been in place since autumn 2018, and workshops ran last week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\"
