ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
=20
Writing plays is like creating an architect's blueprint: a map for a
three-dimensional dynamic experience, rather than a literary product
that is complete on the page. How can we write in ways that fully seize
the live and time-based quality of performance? How can we integrate
the power of image and body with the poetics of a language designed to
be spoken aloud?
=20
In this "bootcamp" style workshop, each student will write a new short
play through a series of guided writing exercises designed to create
vivid theatrical texts that address the physical language of the stage.
Students will also share and give feedback on their work in a structured
and supportive environment. The final class will include a showcase of
excerpts of the new plays read by professional actors. In addition,
Christine will provide a list of suggested reading materials she has
found useful in her work.
