Solidifying Premise, Plot and Dramatic Structure Workshop
Suze Allen
Solidifying Premise, Plot and Dramatic Structure
Got a few characters and a great play idea in need of a clear message, a working premise, and an intriguing plot? This workshop gives you the tools to build a play with solid dramatic intensity, a concise premise, subtle irony, and forward action, action, action. Learn more about the dynamics of a pivotal and obligatory scene, the thrust and motor of your play and how to create meaty conflicts that spur the rise and fall of physical, emotional and psychological action.
