You learn to write by writing. But it’s always panicking, or lazy, or we look for different excuses for not doing it and then not teaching it to anyone. Through this intensive, we will talk about basic concepts of dramaturgy, we will write scenes and then destroy them and to reconstruct them later, but above all, we will focus on finding:
- Strategies and methods for sitting down to write or unblock us (it's a decision, and a sacrifice - you'd always choose something better to do-).
- Different engines to inspire us, and write about what we really want and above all, get rid of the fear of doing so (trap or cheesy songs are also worth it).
- And finally, I will try to make it clear that writing is not as complicated and solemn as you think, if you are true to yourself. So, in these two weeks, we will try to write as much as we can.
PS: Please select a scene, video clip, photo or painting and various songs. Remember to bring your laptop and headphones to listen to music.
