 The focus of the workshop will be broken into four sections:
 
1.      Opening / Groupwork (patterns and themes) - Establishing a foundation of information to work from and how to recognize the significance of that information in relation to scene and piecework. 
2.      Scenework - Basic scenework with movement towards implementing the generated information in the opening to serve as a platform for the scene.
3.      Second/Third Beats - Focus on different ways to pull common threads through the piece.
4.      Full Longform Pieces - How to approach the piece as well as what to look for in order to make it an independent and cohesive whole.
