SUMMER CLASSES FOR ADULTS
The Elements of a Play
6 weeks: Mondays, 7-9pm
June 30 - August 4
Instructor: Louis Lippa
Cost: $200
This course is open to adults and students ages 17 and up.
This class will focus on the elements that make up a play; i.e., dialogue, plot, conflict, characterization, stage directions, etc. It will give theatre artists of various disciplines (actors, directors, dramaturgs, designers, and interested audience members) the opportunity to examine their particular art form from the playwright's point of view. For example, what purpose does a particular character serve in a play? Students will participate in verbal discussions and do some writing exercises outside of class connected to the different elements of plays.
