Squad Assessment Centre: Storylining

OPEN TO ALL SQUADS, YORK – VENUE TBC

This workshop will introduce you to the story process within soap. You will gain a unique insight into the way in which continuing drama hires Storyliners. Storyliners are responsible for generating ideas and structuring the story into each episode. We will also talk about what is expected from Storyliners at Story Conference where producers, writers and commissioners all meet to discuss future blocks of content. This session will focus on Emmerdale, so please watch two weeks of the show beforehand. The workshop will be modelled on our experience of ITV’s Assessment Centre which is part of the hiring process. During the day, you will pitch, develop and structure storylines, both independently and in groups.
