Now in its fourth year, this season of firsts brings together some of the best emerging Black writers, directors and theatre-makers for a series of brand new work, including play-readings, dance-theatre, performance poetry, seminars and workshops. Showcasing new talent, building skills and opening conversations as artists and audiences mingle in the Festival's Studio bar, Talawa Firsts aims to kickstart and progress a new generation of Black British talent. Talawa's Studio will be transformed into a performance space and over three weeks, three emerging writers and three theatre-makers will have the opportunity to try out a new piece of work in front of a lively audience including industry professionals. Alongside these works-in-progress performances, there will be three workshop sessions offering participants the chance to build crucial skills in writing for stage and screen, along with practical advice in how to get a new project off the ground.
