The Lir Academy - Playwriting Levels 1 & 2 (Online)

Overview

Overview

These ten-week programmes have been created for both novice or budding as well as more experienced playwrights to explore the fundamentals of playwriting and dig deeper into those structures. Throughout the programmes, you will develop the tools to craft stories using frameworks such as narrative structure through plot and setting. The course will look at how stories unfold to engage, fascinate, or tease an audience. It will also explore character and dialogue. 

All of this will also be done in a way that is practical and non-academic.  

 All course materials will be provided. Openness, enthusiasm, support, a sense of humour, and a passion to learn how to explore ideas through writing for the stage is all that is necessary to take part. 

Date, Time and Place 

These courses run at various times throughout the year, for one evening a week over 10 weeks, at The Lir, National Academy of Dramatic Art, Trinity Technology and Enterprise Campus, Pearse Street at Grand Canal Quay, Dublin 2.
