On April 11th I ran a workshop for young people at IdeasTap, a fantastic creative network for emerging arts talent. I was incredibly impressed by the writing talent, imagination and enthusiasm of the young people I worked with. They came up with fabulous fantasy costumes to wear to our Adelaide Road wedding performance on May 14th as well as demonstrating a naturally romantic streak!

On March 14th, I led a creative writing workshop at Chalk Farm library on the theme of betrayal. Participants were asked to write questions such as if betrayal was a type of weather what would it be?. If anger was an animal what would it be? If revenge was a season of the year what would it be? They also wrote letters and wedding invitations for consideration for inclusion in the Adelaide Road show.

On March 5th I ran a creative writing workshop at Kentish Town Library. Our theme was love and participants were asked to write answers to questions such as - What did your first kiss taste like? What for you is the smell of love? What's your idea of the perfect place to propose/declare your love?

I ran a creative writing workshop at Chalk Farm Library on February 28th. Participants were asked what is your perfect bed made of? What does your perfect kitchen taste like? What does your perfect garden smell like? Who is your perfect neighbour? What can you hear on your perfect doorstep? What does home mean to you? They also wrote love letters between Joe and Mary, two of the characters in Adelaide Road.

On Saturday, February 12, I ran a workshop at Swiss Cottage Library with the Camden Poetry Group getting them to write poems around the idea of roads and journeys. This is a group of local poets who've been holding regular meetings for the last forty years.

For this workshop, Aoife read participants my 'Prologue' poem and then asked the participants the following questions - if you were a road, what kind of a road would you be? If you were a map, what kind of map would you be?

For our first workshop, senior archivist Tudor Allen selected a fascinating range of material connected with Adelaide Road for us to use. Each workshop participant was asked to sit down in front of the item they found the most interesting.
