Embark on a transformative 2 week journey designed for writers ready to elevate their scripts or screenplays. Whether you have a nascent idea or a complete first draft, this intensive residency offers the tools and guidance to reimagine and refine your work.

Led by award-winning Nigerian-American dramaturg and creative producer Iyvon E. (Artistic Director of The Parsnip Ship and former Director of Programming at Signature Theatre) participants will engage in rigorous workshops, personalized mentorship, and collaborative sessions aimed at deepening narrative structure, character development, and thematic resonance.

Set against the serene backdrop of Pezzolo, a historic Sicilian village nestled in the Peloritani mountains, writers will find inspiration in the region’s rich cultural tapestry and tranquil landscapes. This immersive experience not only fosters artistic growth but also encourages meaningful connections among a diverse cohort of international creatives.

Open to playwrights and screenwriters at any stage, the program offers dedicated time, guided feedback, and structured development support focused on deep revision and creative reimagining.

The residency will take place in September 2026, with applications open until 15th March 2026.
