Beyond the Draft
National Theatre of Scotland
Beyond the Draft is a free, eight-week programme for six playwrights in Scotland who self-identify as experiencing barriers to access within the theatre sector. These could be early-career playwrights or those with more experience in the arts who feel disadvantaged by a lack of access to creative education or formal training. Applications open: Wed 12 Nov 2025 Applications close: Wed 3 Dec 2025 Programme dates: Saturday afternoons from Sat 17 of Jan 2026 to Sat 14 Mar 2026 (with a break Sat 28 Feb) This group was created by early-career playwrights who recognise how hard it can be to find space to learn and grow without the pressure to fit into an existing market, prove yourself to institutions, or produce the 'next big play.' Opportunities like this are rare, especially for artists who experience barriers to access. The focus is creating a space that centres development, not output — where writers can find community, build confidence, and grow their craft on their own terms. The final sessions will be developed in collaboration with the programme’s workshop leaders and facilitators and tailored to the needs of the group, but will include sessions that explore theatrical structure, developing your voice as a playwright, and decolonised dramaturgy.
Location: Glasgow
Deadline: 3 December 2025
CreativeMornings: Kneading Change with Marta Monellini, Company Bakery
CreativeMornings Edinburgh
CreativeMornings Edinburgh is a free monthly breakfast lecture series that brings people together for connection and inspiration. For our final event of the year, we are looking ahead to a special morning with Marta Monellini from Company Bakery. She'll take us through the story behind one of Edinburgh’s most loved bakeries, from their early loaves to the round-the-clock operation they run today. Marta will talk about the choices that shaped their growth and the steady adaptability that keeps their brand and work evolving. And because this is our last event of the year, Company Bakery are baking a cake (the best breakfast food!) to celebrate the year we’ve had together, and Machina will be bringing their festive coffee, with notes of marzipan, poached pear and cocoa. It feels like such a lovely way to celebrate everyone who has helped bring CreativeMornings Edinburgh back to life this year. We’ll be meeting at Summerhall from 8.30 - 10am for creative connection over coffee and breakfast, featuring flowers from Broughton Street Flowers. It’s our final gathering of the year, and it should be a lovely way to close out 2025 together. As always, tickets are free but limited! We'd love to see you there.
