WINTER PLAYWRITING INTENSIVE

Brooke Berman and Anne Garcia-Romero are teaching a playwriting workshop in
LA starting
January 13 and running through February 7.   We will meet on Tuesday
nights, for writing exercises, and Saturday afternoons for longer,
more focused feedback sessions.

This is a great way to start your creative new year.   Bring new work!
Start new work!  Renew the practice!  You can expect the usual mix of
luxurious writing exercises geared towards shaking up the unconscious,
dipping into dream logic, and letting the writing itself be your
guide.  You can also expect longer feedback sessions each Saturday and
a "Structure Lab" in which we will look at the structural element of
the plays we love and find out what holds each world together.

Tuesday evenings are devoted to in-class writing exercises -  the
spine of the class -  opening each writer's voice and connection to
source material, accessing the deeper mind and imagination to create
rich play material.   On Saturday afternoons,
writers will share pages with one another and receive feedback and support.

This workshop is perfect for writers at all levels.

The workshop will be limited to 12 writers.

WHEN: TUESDAYS 7-9PM, Jan 13, 20, 27, Feb 3;
and SATURDAYS 12-3PM, Jan 17, 24, 31, Feb. 7
