The ECA Scottish Gadda Juniors Labs
- Edinburgh – Saturday 23 June 2012, 1.00-5.00pm
- Sculpture Court, ECA, Lauriston Place, Edinburgh. Workshop conducted by Federica G. Pedriali, with ECA graduates Caroline Alexander (Photography), Astrid Jaekel (Illustration) and Thomas Morgan (Film). Nine Scottish Junior semifinalists were treated to a mixed movement-vocal warm-up before launching into the workshop proper. The focus was on the submissions thus far, and tasks involved impersonation and thinking sharply about narrative strategies and reasons for writing stories. In the second half, ECA graduates Caroline Alexander, Astrid Jaekel and Thomas Morgan shared their enthusiasm for their craft and a few of their secrets giving our Juniors a headstart for the Other Media Stage of the competition.
