<br> WINTER PLAYWRITING INTENSIVE<br> <br> Brooke Berman and Anne Garcia-Romero are teaching a playwriting workshop in LA starting<br> January 13 and running through February 7. We will meet on Tuesday<br> nights, for writing exercises, and Saturday afternoons for longer,<br>
more focused feedback sessions.<br> <br> This is a great way to start your creative new year. Bring new work!<br> Start new work! Renew the practice! You can expect the usual mix of<br> luxurious writing exercises geared towards shaking up the unconscious,<br>
dipping into dream logic, and letting the writing itself be your<br> guide. You can also expect longer feedback sessions each Saturday and<br> a "Structure Lab" in which we will look at the structural element of<br>
the plays we love and find out what holds each world together.<br> <br> Tuesday evenings are devoted to in-class writing exercises - the<br> spine of the class - opening each writer's voice and connection to<br> source material, accessing the deeper mind and imagination to create<br>
rich play material. On Saturday afternoons,<br> writers will share pages with one another and receive feedback and support.<br> <br> This workshop is perfect for writers at all levels.<br> <br> The workshop will be limited to 12 writers.<br>
<br> WHEN: TUESDAYS 7-9PM, Jan 13, 20, 27, Feb 3;<br> and SATURDAYS 12-3PM, Jan 17, 24, 31, Feb. 7<br> <br> WHERE: The Fountain Theater, 5060 Fountain Avenue, LA, CA 90069,<br> <a href="http://www.fountaintheatre.com/" target="_blank">http://www.fountaintheatre.com/</a><br>
