Scriptease

How will I learn?

You’ll learn the craft of dramatic writing by doing it! Alongside your peers, you’ll do fun exercises in class (and some at home). You’ll analyze play scripts/screenplays and deconstruct films to find out how they work. As you develop your idea(s), each term you’ll have a tutorial with us and feedback on your script(s).

What will I learn?

With our guidance you’ll be able to shape your story into a dramatic form using the principles of storytelling: character, structure and genre.  We’ll also look at the current landscape in playwriting and the film/TV industry, so you can discover pathways into production.
 
What will I achieve?

Over several drafts, you’ll develop a polished short play or film script (up to 10 pages) or the first 10-14 pages of a full-length play, feature film or pilot TV show.

At the end of the course we'll meet up in person - and your script will be read by professional actors, so you can hear your words come alive in front of your peers and a supportive critical audience. 

What experience do I need?

The course is designed for beginners and also more experienced writers.
 
Where: On Zoom (Jan-Dec 23) then in person rehearsed script readings with professional actors in Dec 2023.
