Examinations and Assignments:
Open-ended playwriting exercises--designed to facilitate the discovery of dramatic material--will form the bulk of the work. Each student will be expected to have a play written by the end of the semester. |
Additional Requirements and/or Comments:
Students interested in taking the class are required to submit a sample of their writing for evaluation. Please send- prior to the end of the fall semester- your writing sample to: Kristin McQueeney (kmcqueeney@wesleyan.edu) in the Theater Department office.
Essential aspects of dramatic writing--plot exposition, pacing, one act vs. full length, and the importance of stage action--will be discussed and technical problems inherent in the dramatic form will be considered. A workshop atmosphere will prevail so that students engage in the kind of collaborative approach to problem solving that all dramatic writing requires. |
