503Studio: Introduction to Playwriting
Five weekly Wednesday sessions from Wednesday 19 April to Wednesday 17 May, 7pm – 9.30pm. The sessions will take place over Zoom.
Phoebe Eclair-Powell will lead this course to act as an introduction to the core aspects and approaches to playwriting. Chiefly, we will explore ways of finding inspiration for plays as well as looking at dramatic action, dialogue, subtext and theme in order to help create and develop characters. The basics of playwriting and storytelling will be discovered through practical exercises and sharing in a friendly and supportive environment.
Please note we cannot commit to an ongoing dramaturgical relationship with any pieces that may develop on this course, or commit to a production. However, we will offer an open and honest discussion with all participants about possible next steps for their work, recommendations of other development opportunities that might be of benefit, and guidance to where their work may best be suited in terms of future engagement.
If you have any access requirements, you can let us know here. If you would rather discuss any access requirements and how we can accommodate them prior to booking, please get in touch with us here.
Maximum class sizes are 14.
