PERFORMANCE WRITING/NEW WORK DEVELOPMENT

Geauga Theater's Performance Writing Program is being expanded to include 
New Script Development. Writers, actors, and directors interested in 
exploring scriptwriting and new script development are welcome. This course 
will be offered four times a year, in 12-week cycles. Six of the weekly 
sessions will focus on Aristotle's critical components of drama using 
Gerald Chapman's teaching methods and incorporating elements of 
improvisation and discussion. The other six sessions will focus on script 
analysis and characterization as they pertain to new script development.

The course will be team taught by Joanne Durante and Jim Kisicki. The next 
cycle of classes will begin September 8th and end November 24th.  Classes 
will be held on Monday evenings, from 7:30-9:30 pm in the Annex on Water 
Street in downtown Chardon, across from the Geauga Theater.

Students will develop individual performance works-in-progress, such as 
plays, musical books, comedic monologues, performance poetry, screenplays, 
teleplays, etc. Each cycle culminates with a script-in-hand dramatic 
reading for an invited audience. The class may be repeated as often as 
desired, as writers, actors, and directors continue to develop new works 
towards the ultimate goal of production.

The goals of this course are:
* To develop an understanding and appreciation of various forms of 
performance writing
* To develop an appreciation of, and respect for, the collaborative 
process, with special emphasis on the role of the writer in relation to the 
director, performers, and audience
* To foster the creation of individual performance works reflecting each 
student's unique voice
* To instill the dramaturgical and performance skills necessary to new 
script development

Each class is limited to ten students. Repeat students are given priority 
admission. The cost of the class is $120/cycle for new students and 
$100/cycle for repeat students. New students may be asked to submit an 
example of their writing prior to admission. For information or 
registration, please contact Joanne Durante at jfd at nccw.net or 
440.729.6481.
