Course description
This course involves students undertaking seminar-based study designed to build practical skills as both dramaturg and playwright. The first half of the semester will see students develop a thorough understanding of the various roles dramaturgs can have in either the development of new work, or as researchers and programmers for established companies producing extant texts. In the second half, students will be responsible for writing their own original short work for the stage; and they will also be assigned to a fellow student's play as dramaturg.
