Joanne has recently been working with TAPS (Television Arts Performance Showcase), developed by BAFTA's Jill James and directed by Charles Garland, at the Comedy Writers Workshop attended by Paul Mayhew-Archer and Jon Plowman of the BBC.
Joanne performed a total of twenty one new scripts which have now moved on to a stage of further development. Joanne said "It was very challenging and great fun. Hopefully they will be the new prime-time BBC series' of next year".
TAPS is an organisation committed to seeking out, developing, showcasing and promoting emerging talented writers by putting their original voices in front of leading drama and comedy producers and script executives. TAPS aims to unearth new writers who may not otherwise be noticed and help them develop better scripts through workshops plus access to professional directors and actors who speed that essential nurturing of their talent.
TAPS actively develops original voices of the future for an industry which needs to constantly seek raw talent and fresh ideas. |
