Funded by the Arts Council England for the third year, DYSPLA’s unique Storymakers Residency is a celebration of Neurodivergent creative excellence.

DYSPLA, a London-based art studio specialising in the creative and professional development of Neurodivergent artists, is running its six-month holistic script-writing programme designed to accommodate the completion of a finished manuscript.

The residency commenced on the 25th of April 2022 in the newly-renovated DYSPLA Home Studio. Out of 285 applicants, DYSPLA offered three placements to Northern ND* creatives, who all pitched outstanding story concepts. Congratulations to Krishna Modhwadia, Alex Clarke and Ryan Walker-Edwards.

All three winners are excited to begin their creative journey with DYSPLA and had these lovely things to say about the residency:
