Let’s Write It, with Marcel Stewart

Sponsored by Greenbelt Coffee

Sunday November 23 | 10:00-12:30 | FREE

Let’s Write It invites you to take a seat at the table—literally. This long-table workshop is part writing circle, part public experiment, and all about process. Led by theatre artist and facilitator Marcel Stewart, the session brings together a small group of writers who will share live prompts, exchange words in real time, and open the table for audience members to join, listen, or contribute their own lines.

Whether you’re a writer, an observer, or simply curious about how ideas take shape, this is a space to play with language, explore unfinished thoughts, and rediscover the joy of writing in community.

A live collaborative writing experiment. Join a long table workshop where writers and audience members share space, prompts, and process. We’ll write, talk, and reimagine what it means to create together.

LEAP: Life Embodied Arts Practice, with Romeo Candido

Sunday November 23 | 1:00-3:00 | $20 or PWYC

LEAP is a storytelling method for storytellers seeking a more grounded, authentic voice.

Led by Emmy-nominated director, writer, composer, and CSA-winning producer, Romeo Candido, the goal is to write from lived experience; finding the emotional truth of a moment and shaping it through character, want, conflict, and change. In the age of AI, machines can imitate style, but they can’t recreate memory, emotion, or truth. LEAP helps people reconnect with that.

Workshop participants will write, share, and begin to see how their own story can grow into something larger: a short film, a play, a series, a pitch, or simply a clearer sense of purpose as an artist.

Bring pieces to share or shape. This is your time for community, curiosity, and discovery. For everyone.
