---Instructor: Christion Ty Edwards--- Calling all directors, playwrights, dramaturgs, designers, critics, and actors! This workshop will introduce and/or deepen your knowledge of theatrical language and critical analysis skills for performance and dramatic literature. We'll talk dramatic analysis, Aristotle's Poetics, Dramaturgy, and the age-old question... what even is Theatre!? Come with a curious mind and a creative heart, and leave with both a language and a tool kit for watching, reflecting upon, and discussing performance across genres and media.
