Course Description:
Each session will consist of teaching on a specific playwriting element (for example, using characters to deliver a 'switch', back story influencing sub-text, etc.). This will not be overly technical, but a useful and practical examination of tools to improve the quality of a script or story.
This will be followed with work on your own scripts in the group, as well as offering prompts to help develop the work.
Janice will look over and comment on your scripts as you work through the weeks. You may work on one piece, or several ideas; it is up to you. There is also the option to have a full dramaturgy of your script/ script section, delivered to you privately from Janice.
An open session will be held on 19th December where your work can be read to a summer school audience. This will be followed by a Christmas Summer School bar.
The course will be fun, stimulating and supportive; with masses of take-aways for your continued playwriting development.
Cost: Full course option €150 Drop in option for those not able to attend all sessions €30 per session Additional option of a private dramaturgy session €45
