Courses offered under the heading MFAW Practicum build skills in the practical aspects of areas such as literary production and teaching while providing students with key theoretical tools as well as exposure to their academic, social, and artistic applications.The screenwriting workshop focuses on the art and craft of motion picture, television, and adaptive digital/multimedia screenwriting. Our course explores the genesis of screenwriting, via integral components of concept, genre, character, structure, dialogue, scene/sequencing, culminating in the preparation of screenplay and foundational development for a variety of screen formats. Competing pedagogy will be explored, including improvisational and independent/alternative approaches. Our journey features short lectures, screenings, weekly writing assignments, and a screenwriting workshop.   The expressed goal is to develop and finish several short film screenplays, a television sitcom sequence, culminating in an original narrative (approx. 15 - 25pp.) screenplay.
