SUMMARY:Interview Protocols and Practices for Playwriting with Kamila Sediego
DESCRIPTION:Do you have a play idea and need to interview someone for your research? Whether it’s for learning personal or familial histories\, understanding historical/cultural/societal contexts\, or digging deeper into a niche expertise the method and means of interview can affect what information is collected. Join a workshop with local published playwright and dramaturg\, Kamila Sediego\, for tips on how to ethically gather information\, how to conduct interviews\, and how to turn that research gold into storytelling tools and inspiration. \nKamila Sediego (she/her/siya) is a daughter of immigrants\, sister\, auntie\, partner\, playwright\, and dramaturg grateful to live on the unceded and stolen territories of the Musqueam\, Squamish\, and Tsleil-Waututh peoples. Her ancestral roots stretch across the Pacific\, and are embedded in the lands of Iloilo\, Cebu\, and Manila\, Philippines. \nKamila’s play Homecoming was published by Playwrights Canada Press in 2025 and its world premiere (Urban Ink) was at the Cultch and at the Evergreen Arts Centre in 2024. Most recently\, Kamila participated in the PuSh Festival’s In Dialogue program\, and she was a playwright at Caravan Farm Theatre’s National Playwright Retreat. She was a Playwrights Theatre Centre Associate (2021-2024)\, and is a current Resident Dramaturg and co-lead of Vancouver Asian Canadian Theatre’s Creation Lab. With the care and support of many\, she is developing a new play\, Engkanto. \nPhoto credit: Veronica Bonderud\n—\nPresented in partnership with Playwrights Theatre Centre.\n—\nThis event is open to all with limited space available and registration is required.
