Examinations and Assignments:
Open-ended playwriting exercises--designed to facilitate the discovery of dramatic material--will form the bulk of the work. Each student will be expected to have a play written by the end of the semester. |
Additional Requirements and/or Comments:
Essential aspects of dramatic writing--plot exposition, pacing, one act vs. full length, and the importance of stage action--will be discussed and technical problems inherent in the dramatic form will be considered. A workshop atmosphere will prevail so that students engage in the kind of collaborative approach to problem solving that all dramatic writing requires.
This will be a weekly three-hour workshop (1:00-4:00). |
