Craft, Voice and Vision: Creating Art, Creating Change
This virtual introductory playwriting course taught by Sue Pak is designed for Asian American writers to develop their individual theatrical voice through writing a ten minute play. Through the practice of writing and investigating works by and about playwrights of color, students will (1) learn the fundamentals of play construction and theory, (2) explore the elements of dramatic tension, and (3) develop a work that best expresses their authentic voice.
By the end of the course, students will be able to:
1. Write a ten minute play using proper style and format.
2. Generate character-driven stories that will engage an audience.
3. Provide and receive constructive feedback in order to achieve their best work.
We are at a moment in history when supporting and promoting traditionally marginalized voices is more crucial than ever. As Asian American artists, we must resist systemic oppression, by actively creating and disseminating those stories that must be told.
If you're unable to pay full price, you may qualify for a sponsored scholarship or sliding scale tuition. To apply, email us with an essay of 250 words or less describing your intention behind wanting to write plays and explain your ability to pay. Scholarships and tuition sliding scale awards will be distributed based on merit and order of receipt.
Class is limited to 12 participants. Contact us to sponsor a playwright.
