Contact: Dr Jaswinder Blackwell-Pal

This module introduces you to practices and theories of playwriting. It develops fundamental playwriting skills and, by reflecting on your own work and that of others, explores different ways of writing for the stage. You will be introduced to a range of stage practices and techniques, as well as to a dramaturgical vocabulary that will help make sense of them. Throughout the module you will build up a portfolio of your own stage writing and, in the process, investigate different possible forms that playwriting might take.
