INTRODUCTION TO PLAYWRITING

Drama IP: Scriptwriting
English Ext. 2 Major Work: Script – Drama

Suitable for students embarking on their HSC Drama Individual Project: Scriptwriting and HSC English Extension 2 Major Work: Script – Drama.

A Belvoir playwright will unpack the theory and practice of writing a play. Students will learn key ideas about structure, story and character development. The workshop includes practical activities in playwriting, giving students the opportunity to work with a playwright to shape ideas. During the workshop students will explore:

  • Principles of dramatic action
  • Strategies for bringing characters to life
  • Writing dialogue
  • Approaches to redrafting and structure
  • Rehearsal room techniques for honing the draft

This workshop is intended to help you create your own text through a practical exploration of script writing, guided by a Belvoir artist. Artists delivering this workshop will not be providing guidance on specifics of the HSC Individual Project (IP) requirements. For information on assessment requirements for your project you should consult your teacher.
