Date: Wednesday, May 29

Place: Connemara Coast Hotel, Na Forbacha, Galway

Time: 7pm-8.30pm(8–8.30pm Q&A)

 

John Yorke the man responsible for more hours of drama on British television than anyone else is coming to Galway. He is going to give a talk on 5 act structures and how it applies to all good stories. This is followed by a 30 min Q&A.

As both Head of Channel Four Drama and Controller of BBC Drama Production he’s worked on big popular works such as Hustle, Spooks, Casualty and Holby City alongside award-winners such as Bodies, Omagh, Sex Traffic, Not Only But Always and The Curse of Steptoe.

As a commissioning Editor/Executive Producer, he championed some of the defining works of British television including Life On Mars, The Street, Shameless and Waterloo Road.

In 2005 he created the BBC Writers Academy, a year-long in-depth training scheme which has produced a generation of successful television writers.

He is the author of Into The Woods – A five act journey into story Much more than a ‘how to write’ book, Into the Woods is an exploration of this fundamental structure underneath all narrative forms, from film and television to theatre and novel-writing.

If you are a writer and interested in structure you don’t want to miss this!!!

Here is what some students thought about the courses they attended:

Martin’s knowledge of cameras and photography, along with his hands-on approach, make this course a must for any budding photographer. The constructive analysis of each students’ work was very helpful and inspired further improved photographs.

I gained an insightful experience during ‘Produce and Pitch to Perfection for TV’. It gave me a clear understanding on how commissioning for TV really works.
