Institution:

Bard College

Subject:

Description:

This class explores the process of story or script development through spontaneous written response to assigned problems, situations, complications, and possibilities. The purpose: to unhinge caution and access story by putting aside logic and judgment in the initial stages of creating an idea, character, and plot. Later in the semester, elements of structure, balance, collaboration, and evaluation are added to the mix. All assignments are handwritten in class and read aloud. Think of it as a scavenger hunt for the imagination. Open to all students interested in writing for literature, theater, or film.
