Writing is Writing is Rewriting is Writing with Caridad Svich
A five- week online workshop starting May 18, 2015

ScriptWorks offers the flexibility of online learning for  this five week intensive geared toward re-animating your plays in progress, locating their core and seeing them anew. If theater is, as we all know, an event in space and a way of seeing, then revising work for live performance is about understanding the true nature of the event and how the stage is a canvas for ordinary and extraordinary acts of disruption and simultaneous healing.

Cost: SW members $150/ General $200
