Summary

Are you getting frustrated with trying to fit your ideas into the traditional linear play form?

Not every story is meant to be told in a ‘typical’ dramatic structure. This course focuses on writing and reading approaches to what some call non-traditional storytelling techniques. In this class, you will learn how to tell your stories in completely different ways that honor your supposedly impossible dreams. After all, dreaming the impossible is what makes a play come alive.

Requirements for this Class

Students should be willing to explore new storytelling structures.  This class is not for someone who wants to work on an existing play, but rather for someone who is ready to start something new.

Expectations for this Class

Students should be prepared to read assigned texts, share pages during class, and give/receive open and empathetic feedback with each other and with the instructor.

After Completion of Class

Students will have exercises, prompts, and tools to continue their exploration of alternative theatrical structures.
