Description | This course is a continuation of the work begun in Intro to
Playwriting. We'll deepen our understanding of playwriting
through the exploration of character development, thematic
complexity, and dramatic structure. Building on foundational
skills, this course will engage in intensive workshops, analyzing
contemporary and classical texts to uncover what makes a
compelling narrative. Students will experiment with different
forms and styles, from one-act plays to full-length works, honing
their unique voice while receiving constructive feedback from the
creative ensemble. An emphasis will be placed on creating
authentic dialogue, crafting engaging plots, and exploring the
nuances of staging and performance. Keywords:writing, playwriting, plays, drama, dramaturgy |
