CETA 0903 - Creative Writing: Script and Stage

Institution:

Brown University

Subject:

Description:

How do you write a play or film script? What's different about writing for the dramatic media, as distinct from developing a short story, poem, or novel? Scripts are strange creatures in the world of writing: they are designed to disappear into another medium. Scripts are like an architect's blueprint: unlike novels or poems, they are designed as instruction manuals for building a performance or film. The successful dramatic writer therefore needs to learn to think in three dimensions, imagining their script as a blueprint for a fully realized world in performance.
