Course Description

The course is intended to give the screenwriter and/or director an experiential understanding of acting and writing, thus enhancing the student’s ability to inhabit characters more fully as a writer, and to more effectively direct actors. The experience of embodying characters and living through plot subjectively enables a unique kind of understanding of structure, character and particulars such as “turning point” etc. In addition, the process of being well directed can open many doors to using impulse, spontaneity and intuition effectively in both writing and directing.
