1 Reviews Dubai Community Theatre & Arts Centre, Barsha

This new course will focus on diverse genres of writing geared towards performance. The workshop will emphasize on the balance between text and performance- how they build upon and interact with each other. A team of professional writers, directors, poets and performance based artists including Jamil Abu Warda (TV Writer and Producer), Nick Karavatos (Head of Writing at American University of Sharjah, published USA writer and poet), Mohammed Rahmo (Film & Theater Director, Screenwriter, founder of Penny for Theater), Sol Abiad (Director of Star Too) and Mina Liccione (Dubomedy Arts Director, NYFA Abu Dhabi Professor, BroadwayVeteran) will co-teach this course.

There will be a series of unique writing sessions and assignments that allow the students to explore a variety of "individual writing voices". Writing genres and seminars will include: Script writing for Theater, Poetry and Spoken Word, Storytelling- from fiction to non-fiction, Creating text, scripts and dialogue from Improvisational Exercises, Character development tools, How to transform personal stories into TV Scripts taught by a longstanding TV Producer. The final few classes will focus on ways to take your words from the page to the stage- hence PERFORMANCE skills including Meisner Acting Technique, How to direct actors, Physicalization of stories and Rhythmic Training. This workshop will commence will a final showing and/or reading of the works created during this creative process. *The "best" works of the bunch will be chosen to develop into full length performance pieces as well as considered for a new series of short film projects set for 2011.

Please let me know how many classes will be there in the package. Total hours of classes as well. I am confused if it is 1500 per class or complete session training.

I am very interested in this course.
Thanks
Rosie
