To extend and nuance the range of skills of students writing for performance and to encourage formal experimentation, while allowing students the framework in which to reflect critically and creatively on their own and other people’s writing.

Outline Of Syllabus

Over the course of taught sessions and scheduled individual tutorials, students will look at a range of dramatic devices in order to develop their understanding of the tools and resources available to them as writers. Students will explore potential sources and resources, experiment with a variety of techniques, structures and forms, and have the chance to move towards developing their work in response to seminars, tutorials, and independent study and practice.

Intended Knowledge Outcomes

Students will acquire and strengthen their knowledge of a range of forms and techniques and of a variety of perspectives from which these can be approached.

Intended Skill Outcomes

Students will develop the confidence to experiment with their own work and to produce considered and disciplined revision of their work. They will learn to read and evaluate the work of other writers and to evaluate and develop their own writing in the context of this, as well as to receive and incorporate constructive feedback.

Teaching Rationale And Relationship

Through close reading, discussion, writing exercises, and feedback received in seminars and tutorials, students will apply their knowledge of a range of forms and techniques to their own writing practice. They will incorporate the skills of revision, self-evaluation, and selection into the preparation of their final creative portfolio.
