Who lives in X Town?

As part of this year's EastSide Arts Festival, Fighting Words Belfast hosted a fast-paced, interactive play-making workshop in partnership with Accidental Theatre.

Working with theatre professionals, participants delved into how stories become theatre, exploring what makes writing for the stage uniquely exciting and challenging. The eight participants, aged 12-17, created their own X Town and filled it with their ideas and stories.

“I learned to always be confident in my ideas. It’s important not to be self conscious.” – Workshop participant, aged 17

We're in talks with Accidental Theatre to explore how we can build on this, so watch this space!
