Course description
Ever wanted to write a hit 10-minute play and never thought you could? This is the course for you! The first half of the semester will see students build their playwriting skills and develop a thorough understanding of the various roles dramaturgs can have in the development of new work. In the second half, students will be responsible for writing their own original short work for the stage; they will also be assigned to a fellow student's play as dramaturg. Theatre is a collaborative artform, and this course is structured to mirror real-life industry approaches to the development of new work.
