ZEST: A Writers' Collective
ZEST; A Writers' Collective
ZEST is a new writer's group which began in September 2024, that places young writers at the centre and provides a weekly meeting space for development, learning and growth, facilitated by industry professionals. As part of the course and group, writers will develop a new idea or script for a showcase of their work in November 2024, directed by Ricochet Theatre, before continuing to develop work for future collaborations or further opportunities until December 2024.
Participation in ZEST is free of charge to anyone aged 16-23.
We are excited to see what our current ZEST cohort produce, and look forward to engaging more young people in the ZEST programme as it progresses into 2025.
The 2024 ZEST cohort are:
Marcel Bedeau
Vee Arden
Mia Tharia
Niamh Taylor
Becki Douglass
Elan Davies
Rhys Heal
Munashe Danga
Zest is facilitated by Benjamin Salmon with support from Ella McKeown
