That’s What She Said: Playing with Dialogue with pip adam

This workshop will take place in Haumia ki Te Aro - Toi Aro.

The unintended double entendre is just one example of how dialogue has the power to speak twice. In this workshop we’ll explore the ‘said’ and the ‘unsaid’ and how these can be used to expand the imaginative and craft potential of dialogue.

The workshop with pip adam is designed for writers of all forms and levels. This is a reflective workshop—you won’t need to share any writing, and exercises can be completed using activities other than writing.

This event is part of the 2026 Verb Readers & Writers Festival. Please see verbwellington.nz for more information.
