About this event
---Instructor: Rich Amada--- Every other Tuesday: 1/25, 2/8, 2/22, 3/8, 3/22, 4/5 – 6 weeks REGISTRATION DEADLINE: JANUARY 22, 2022. No late registrations permitted. Designed for the writer who has an understanding of the basic skills (covered in the beginners class), this course is the essential next step for those who are serious about developing their craft as writers for the stage or screen. Writers are too close to their own works to accurately assess whether a script is working the way it was intended. Only by hearing the script read out loud, and by receiving feedback to that reading, can the writer truly gauge which parts of the script are on target and which parts need more attention. To accomplish this, students bring to class scripts they are working on, and those scripts are given readings followed by class discussions of the works. Students learn not only from the critiques of their own works, but also by critiquing the scripts of others. Periodically, student works are given public readings featuring actors in the roles. (For those who are experienced playwrights or screenwriters, the beginner’s class is not a pre-requisite to enroll in this class.) This class will be held online via ZOOM.
