Class Description

Description

Do you ever encounter TV or movies or plays or fiction and think, “These characters don’t talk like real people! I know I can do better than that!”

Do you ever look at dialogue in your own work and think, “These characters don’t talk like real people! I know I can do better than that!” If you do, this class is for you.

Over the course of four weeks, you will be guided through an investigation of how real people talk, how great playwrights write great dialogue, and how you yourself could strengthen your own dialogue-writing muscle. Led by experienced dramatic writer and seasoned writing teacher Aaron Ricciardi, you will read plays and write your own scenes and/or fiction every week as you strive to write believable dialogue. This class is designed with playwrights and fiction writers in mind, though it’s right for anyone who wants to understand how to make the banal scintillating.

Class with be held online on Tuesdays November 19, December 3, 10, and 17.
