Playwriting: stage 2 (continuation)

- Demonstrate a fuller awareness of the playwriting process- Produce a new draft of your play- Exhibit increased mastery of dramaturgical and writing skills in your own work- Exercise a critical insight into the playwriting process and in analysing plays either in performance or in print.

Pen and paper. Set texts might be advised but do not necessarily need to be purchased. You should provide severalcopies of the scenes you have written at home when it is your turn to have your work read out in class.

- Lectures/seminars/discussions on components and aspects of dramatic writing- Writing exercises and dramaturgical sessions- In-class readings of students’ work followed by feedback and analysis- Analysis of written dramatic work.All writing courses at City Lit will involve an element of workshop. This means that students will produce work which will be discussed in an open and constructive environment with the tutor and other students. The college operates a policy of constructive criticism, and all feedback on another student’s work by the tutor and other students should be delivered in that spirit.For classes longer than one day regular reading and writing exercises will be set for completion at home to set deadlines.
