Front & Centre - Women of the North's Playwriting Symposium.At a time of increasing challenges for the arts in Northern Ireland—where funding is shrinking, and a clear arts policy remains absent - female-identifying and non-binary playwrights, particularly those from working-class backgrounds, face even greater barriers.This symposium is a call to action. Focusing on playwriting as both craft and career, it will open up vital conversations, explore constructive strategies, and showcase fresh talent. Expect a dynamic mix of staged readings, works in progress, and critical discussions - bringing together emerging playwrights, academics, and industry professionals.Join us for an inspiring weekend of creative exploration, thought-provoking panels, and open conversation. Whether you're a writer, artist, academic, or theatre enthusiast, your voice is welcome.
