Styles Bootcamp
This is an intensive and fast paced exploration of styles, genres, and methods. Each week students will write an entirely new and complete first draft of a play in only 72 hours. This draft will incorporate targeted prompts built around a different style and genre (such as realism, expressionism, solo show, etc.). Before the next class meeting, each student will read the plays written their fellow students, and be prepared to discuss. The focus of discussion is on what you have learned about writing, not what you have written. Upon completion of the course, each student will have six first drafts ready for further revision and development.
