July 26 (1-4pm):
"How to See The End" with Lauren Gunderson $45
The endings of plays, the climactic moment of revelation and reversal, should be our beginnings. How can we demystify the pressure of finding the "perfect" ending in order to write confidently and organically and finish the damn thing.
August 16 (10am-1pm):
"Tarot of Your Play" with Anthony Clarvoe $45
A timeless set of archetypes, with layers of meaning from the personal to the cosmic, the Tarot is a rich source of inspiration for artists. Find new characters, enrich your understanding of current ones, and push your storytelling beyond your preconceptions. You don't need any previous experience of the Tarot for it to empower your imagination. We will work with classic Tarot decks, as well as learn to develop a custom deck particular to your play.
August 23 (10am-1pm):
"Thrills, Laughs, and Danger: Writing the Successful Ten Minute Play" with Pat Milton $45
The ten-minute play form is a great means to get your work produced and build up a playwright resume. It's satisfying (and fun!) to complete a script in a short period of time. But a ten-minute "scene" does not a ten-minute play make. This workshop will equip you with ways of thinking about and writing the ten-minute play, using the elements of dramatic action, dialogue, and characters in conflict. Come learn more about how to master this fun, in-demand form --- and bring stuff for writing, because we'll be doing that!
