Intro to Playwriting

If you have something you're burning to say. If you're working out a big idea but haven't yet put it to paper. Or, if you're simply curious about playwriting and want to find your voice? Let's circle up.  In Character, Form and Dialogue, "Intro to Playwriting" students will learn the fundamentals of playwriting with an eye toward developing a new play.  The class will be run like a playwriting workshop: students will use exercises and prompts to generate writing, read pages-in-progress and give feedback to each other’s work.  Time will also be spent discussing playwriting fundamentals: play form and structure, character arcs, dialogue, scene work, and stakes.  Students will read contemporary ten-minute plays and recently produced full-lengths, as well as discuss the business of playwriting and early-career opportunities in NYC and beyond.
