Do you have a perfect idea for a movie or play? Are you having a hard time getting started, or sharpening your plot, making your protagonist whole? Did you have a poignant dream that only a visual medium can express? If you’re interested in turning your ideas into reality—this is the class for you! Students of all levels will enter a safe space to maturate screen- or stage plays. We’ll approach both of these mediums as learnable crafts. We’ll remove the mystery and discover translating our thoughts into movements is similar to arranging a three-dimensional puzzle. We’ll read excerpts from scripts, complete exercises, and read through student work together.
