Your screenplay sounds really interesting. However, I'm afraid we already have a script for our next production which will premiere next year and tour through 2013 and 2014 so we won't be looking to develop a new idea for a show for a couple of years. We should also say that currently our productions are not issue-based or directly about homelessness. If you haven't already, you could get in touch with Open Cinema (who make films with people who have experienced homelessness - www.opencinema.net) or Cardboard Citizens (www.cardboardcitizens.org.uk/). Best of luck with your writing. Hi Alex,

Anderson Wed, 25 Apr 2012 22:34:18 +0000 http://208.101.60.152/~streetwi/?p=379#comment-3436 My writing skills are those of a fledgeling (I have been writing for only 7ish years). If you ask for and read but cannot use my screenplay can you tell me where it fails and why so that I can do better next time. It is meant to be a social documentary showing a homeless man can still be honourable, lead a wasted life if he dies young and from winter's cold.

Placements are really flexible and can last from one day to once or twice a week for a number of weeks or months. If you let us know which workshop group you'll be going to we can arrange for Fiona to talk to you in more detail if you're interested in a placement. That way we can find out exactly what would interest you most. Hi David, we run work placements in local arts and cultural organisations like theatres and museums.

You weren't being excluded at all, perhaps you didn't realize they were there to collect. The Skylight Christmas dinner on the 14th isn't something Streetwise is organizing so I'm not sure about that one.

Am I being excluded from events (-like a Skylight Christmas dinner) deliberately...?! Just a tiny concern...
