Playwriting Dramaturgy Practicum

Catalog description

This course is advanced playwriting and script analysis for second year students. We will look deeper at the tools and craft of playwriting. We will begin by exploring adaptation—what are the bones and tissues of a given story? How can that body be transformed into a theatrical story? What is required? What changes? What is the relationship between form and content? We will transition from adaptation to writing original full-length works.
