This course requires that students develop a full-length script through a series of writing explorations that aim to develop the material from different points of view. Students will explore the material through prose, parody, character-development exercises, point-of-view, genre, and collaborative exercises that deepen the students’ understanding of story and situation. Students will also read and discuss plays from a variety of styles and genres to increase their understanding of the range of approaches to writing for performance.
