Playwriting with Jenny Lane
2730 Historic Decatur Road, Barracks 16 #202, San Diego, 92106
Cost: $60 - $72
Using a balance of lecture, exercise, and feedback, this two-session course will teach the basics of writing for the stage, including character, relationships, conflict, style, language, dramatic arc, and scene structure.
We will discuss how dramatic writing differs from other forms of writing and what tools a playwright has at her disposal (space, actor, text, and technical elements). We will discuss what it means to make a piece of theater in this film- and TV-saturated culture. And, finally, we will discuss student writing.
