| Department of Playwriting |
|
| The educational programs of the Department of Playwriting are designed to develop playwriting skills as
a playwright. The core curriculum of the first two years covers the entire spectrum of the liberal arts: myth,
history, literature, psychoanalysis, and sociology. Besides these fundamental courses, students will take
courses on (1) theatre history to gain a broad perspective on theatre; (2) creative writing to obtain a
descriptive and observable eye for a human condition; and (3) basic acting, gestures, sounds, light, and
colors to gain general knowledge on the mechanism of staging a text. Juniors and seniors of the department
will have more intensive lessons on playwriting under a one to one tutorial system. With the excellent
studio facilities, students can work cooperatively with students and faculties from other departments and schools. |
