Playwriting

Course Overview

How can we think creatively about the world around us? What new worlds can we visit from the confines of our home? This programme is a series of four online, interactive sessions of one hour each, with tasks to complete between sessions. By the end of these four weeks, students will have a solid understanding of the basics of playwriting, including creating a character, understanding story arcs and character journeys, including obstacles and objectives. Students will also learn the basics of dialogue and writing conflict. These classes are open both to students who are complete beginners to the craft, as well as to those who would like to brush up on their skills and subject knowledge.
