CRWT 3305

(3 credits) 3 hours lecture (formerly ENGL 3305) This course explores the theory and practice of writing for stage, screen, and live performance. Workshop exercises will focus on developing dramaturgical skills needed for writing dialogue, plotting action, using generic conventions, and developing characters. Students will have the opportunity to create their own plays, screenplays, or performance pieces. Note: Consent of the department is based on evaluation of the student’s original creative writing (no more than 20 typed, double-spaced pages). Writing samples will be accepted up until one week before the first day of classes for the semester in which the course will be taught, or until the course is full, whichever comes first.
