Perry's two Women At Woodstock workshops are entitled: "Ripped From the Headlines" - on how to use current headlines to create plots that are powerful, universal and timeless; and "Making a Backstory Powerful" - exploring how past experiences can make an indelible mark on character and drive passions, hopes and fears.
