About the Class:
Whether you want to start writing your first full length play, develop your existing skills, or improve your acting by better understanding how scripts work, this is the masterclass for you. Over the course of the day, you will engage in a series of games, exercises, and discussions that explore: how we share stories on the stage; how to create original and dynamic characters; how to structure narratives; and how to build meaningful and dialogue in scenes. The work is mostly practical, so be prepared to get up on your feet and play!
