In this 8-week introductory class, students explore core Neo-Futurist tenets of honesty, brevity, and transformation in order to create short plays in our unique, non-illusory aesthetic. Using games and exercises, weekly writing assignments, and regular in-class workshops, students learn specific play formulas and styles that occur on our stage. In the second half of the class, the class works as an ensemble to follow the Neo-Futurists’ weekly creative process to pitch, rehearse and perform a menu of their own original two-minute plays. This culminating show is open to the public, and presented on our stage.
LEVEL 2: WRITING & PERFORMING THE 2-MINUTE PLAY
the next level 2 class will be offered in the fall.
PREREQUISITE: STUDENTS MUST HAVE TAKEN AN INTRO TO WRITING & PERFORMING THE 2-MINUTE PLAY CLASS TO BE ELIGIBLE TO ENROLL.
In this 8-week course, students will build off of the curriculum of Intro to dive deeper into the tenets of Neo-Futurism. Level 2 students will learn new play forms, including dialogue, non-verbal storytelling, monologue variation, audience interaction, and living newspaper. The course will continue to explore workshopping and group feedback, ensemble development, and exploration of each student’s performance style. The class will culminate in a show open to the public.
