Major Activities

Activity 2

Master class retreat series - a series of week-long writing workshops, scheduled throughout the year, that combine hedgebrook's unique retreat experience with the opportunity to be in residence and study with a master teacher. Workshops are offered in a diversity of genres, and are focused on various aspects of the writing craft. Six participants receive five days of workshops, instructor-led group feedback sessions, one-on-one sessions with the instructor as well as an additional day of retreat time.

Activity 3

Hedgebrook women playwrights festival (hwpf) - celebrates the work of women writing for the theatre. Since the festival's inauguration in 1998, hwpf has played an important role in the genesis and development of 40-50 new plays by women. Alumnae of the festival include recipients of the pulitzer prize, tony and obie awards, and macarthur genius fellows. Each year, four or five playwrights are selected from a competitive pool of writers nominated by prominent theatre professionals. The festival kicks off with a "pre-retreat" weekend: plays are read aloud and discussed in a relaxed setting with an intimate community of theatre professionals. A two-week residency at hedgebrook follows, during which the playwrights work with resident and guest dramaturgs to develop their plays. The festival culminates in public presentations at whidbey island center for the arts and seattle's act theatre.
