So, you want to make a solo show?

Join writer, performer and current Bristol City Poet Kat Lyons for a friendly in-person workshop exploring (almost) everything you ever wanted to know about taking that next step. Kat is just coming to the end of touring their own first solo show, Dry Season. They’ve made a ton of mistakes and learned a lot and now they want to help demystify the whole process to make it easier for you.
