Experienced communicator and trainer, Theo Coggin of Quo Vadis Communications, will be leading another in the popular series of Writing for Radio workshops from 28 September 2007 in Johannesburg.
For over five years the course has equipped a number of successful professionals, and is designed to always carry something fresh in its content and approach, taking cognisance of the latest trends in the industry.
Nathi Peyana of ABC Ulwazi, a delegate on a course last year, said the course has opened her eyes to effective ways of grabbing and keeping the listerners' attention, and drawing out essential and creative skills that she now has.
“The course emphasis is on participative learning with practical exercises completed between sessions. Participants get a thorough understanding of the practical demands of scriptwriting, whilst having fun in learning about writing for that most dynamic of media,” she said.
Courses are restricted to a maximum of 12 participants, ensuring optimal interactive participation and individual attention.
The course will be presented over five days, from 09h00 to 16h00, on 28 September, 5 October, 12 October, 26 October and 2 November.
Delegates must attend all five days, and the venue is the Old Edwardian Club, Cnr 11th Avenue and 4th Street, Houghton in Johannesburg.
The course content includes the following: • Principles of communication • Understanding your target audience • Writing Advertising Scripts • Theatre of the Mind • Writing for the ear – clarity, mood, atmosphere • The Power of Human Interest • Community radio: making the most of your resources
The cost per delegate is R2 995 excluding VAT. The amount includes all lectures, a course manual, lunch and refreshments, but excludes all travel and accommodation.
The course is suitable for radio practitioners who want to improve their scriptwriting skills and members of organisations who wish to use radio to communicate their message. It is also ideal for those who see radio broadcasting as a personal opportunity.
