Finish the Thing: June 2021
Saturdays from 10 am - 1 pm, May 29 - June 19
This will be a virtual class held over zoom.
‘Finish The Thing’, led by GRP co-Artistic Director, utilizes GRP’s well-honed artistic process in order to help participants create dynamic text that is useful both in devised, collaborative settings, and in more solo-driven writing or performing projects. Using Michel Gondry’s advice that two important steps in art-making are: 1, Finishing the project and 2, Starting a new project, this course focuses on the skills needed in order to bring new work through the writing process from beginning to end. It will cover:
1. Research and brainstorming, with a particular emphasis on using history and science to develop new material.
2. First draft writing: creating dynamic scenes from scratch.
3. Merciless editing.
4. Collaborative critique and final draft preparation.
