Advanced Playwriting

Catalog description

We will do craft exercises and close readings of texts to look deeper at how works are built. We will explore, discover, and map the mechanics of a diverse range of texts. You will have the opportunity to experiment with those same mechanics to create your own pieces. Through energetic workshop-style classes, you will experience the full process of drafting, hearing aloud, and then revising original works. In charting and defining others' voices, you will discover your own particular voice and what makes it valuable and necessary.
