2024 Summer Workshops

Paula Vogel The Provincetown Bootcamp July 12 to July 17, 2020 Tuition: $650 Workshop: 1-4pm Discipline: Playwriting OPEN TO ALL On-site Housing Available

This workshop is part of SOCIAL JUSTICE WEEK and the WOMEN’S PLAYWRIGHT series

The “bootcamp” consists of daily exercises assigned that play with plot, character, dialogue, music and plasticity. We will not critique the specific exercise, but rather we will observe critically how all in the workshop define each element so that we come out of the workshop having gained theatrical tricks. We may have a short bake-off as well. That is, we will write a short play on assigned elements within a short period of time.
