Screenwriting for the Theater Artist

A one semester course open to all institute
students, BFA 2 and above . Students
will propose, outline and then work to complete a
first draft of an original screenplay. Along the
way students will be introduced to the basics of
working with cards, treatments, story structure,
dialogue and screenplay formatting. Length will
be determined by student experience and
capability, shorts are the emphasis, class structure can not handle features. In-class presentation and
discussion of in progress drafts is crucial. A
lab setting is the aim here, where we all learn
by doing and talking. Students are required to
purchase Final Draft screenwriting software and
have internet access to email their assignments.
