ENG 229

Writing for the Stage

This course works with theatrical writing from the inside out, and focuses on a psychokinetic method of playwriting as process rather than production. Students do not write plays as such. They develop the narrative within by using a variety of approaches such as clustering the senses, engaging the plasticity of the page, and activating the surrealist exquisite corpse. The students will discover the need that drives their stories.
