Songwriting for performance

Sat 19 Sep 1pm - 3pm

BATS Theatre, Wellington

Ever wanted to write a song but didn’t know where to start? From finding inspiration to playing with genre and form, this workshop will give you the tools to write your own lyrics and find your (or your character’s) voice.

Presented and facilitated by Lucy Heffernan.

Lucy Heffernan is a writer, performer and theatre maker. A skilled songwriter, she inserts original music into all her performances.

Lucy trained a the University of Wollongong and studied a Bachelor of Performance, a Bachelor of Creative Arts Honours (First Class), and is currently undertaking a PhD in Creative Practice at the University of New South Wales funded by a Australian Government Research Training Program Scholarship. After seeing Fleabag in 2018 at Carriageworks, Lucy was bitten by the solo performance bug.

Lucy is currently working on her next solo show as part of her PhD candidature at UNSW, where she continues her exploration of how music and theatre intersect in form of 'gig theatre'.
