Fee: $45 (Please contact us if this fee would be a barrier to your participation)
Application deadline: February 24, 2019
This three-day workshop is aimed at playwrights who have a project they want to revisit—or have been chronically stuck on.
Ideal applicants are emerging/mid-career writers who may be familiar with Aristotle, Freytag, and Joseph Campbell, but haven’t read them in a while—or have found them unhelpful because they work in non-traditional modes. This workshop can be used to manipulate the thinkers mentioned above toward the playwright’s own unique, innovative, and bold artistic goals. Participants will also have the opportunity to hear (small selections) of their work read out loud and discussed rigorously using the tools being developed in this workshop.
This workshop will include:
- Overview of dramatic structure drawing from an eclectic variety of sources from antiquity to the modern day
- Prompts that may include some light writing exercises to share
- In-depth discussion, argument, and practice
How to Register:
Send applications to: harris@playwrights.ca et emma@playwrights.ca.
