PLAYWRITING – Day 30

WARMUP: Write a quick ½ page script for 2 characters (character #1 and #2) that echoes EVERY LINE…1/2 page….topic of your choice…UNDERLINE each ECHO.

NEXT, take 1 exchange from your script and rewrite it by having character #2 sidestep by commenting on something else.

Do it again, this time, have character #2 sidestep with a question.

Do it again…this time, have character #2 sidestep with silence…and have character #1 respond.

Do it again…this time, have character #2 sidestep with an action…and have character #1 respond.

With an assigned partner, create a GOOGLE DOC and with BOTH NAMES at the top, write 2 short, 1-sided scripts…use this website for a topic…http://www.thestorystarter.com/jr.htm

    1. SCRIPT #1 = write it so it lacks subtlety, is literal, and the characters’ echo each other.
    2. SCRIPT #2 = re-write script #1, this time using subtlety and various forms of sidesteps (see notes above)

PLAYWRITING homework:

None
