Fancy spending some time working your playwriting skills in beautiful Granada this September?
I’m running a week long course for Granada Concierge from 20th - 27th September 2022 and there are still a few places left for budding playwrights.
We’ll spend 5 days looking at different approaches to writing political theatre and sharing work with each other.
The city of Granada is the city of Federico García Lorca, arguably Spain’s finest and most tragic poet, playwright and theatre director. The village of Moclín, where the course takes place, has its own close links to Lorca. On 5th October each year, the village hosts one of the most important classical religious festivals in Spain, and this festival, en Honor del Santísimo Cristo del Paño, is referred to in Lorca’s play, Yerma.
We’ll take the work of Frederico Garcia Lorca as an inspiration and cover topics such as the principles of dramatic structure and the principles behind writing political theatre in both conventional and unconventional forms.
We will take excursions to Lorca’s family home on the edge of Granada, and visit the site where he was executed by Nationalists at the beginning of the Spanish Civil War.
The course will culminate with readings of extracts from everyone’s plays.
The course includes:
Full-board accommodation in private ensuite twin bedroom
5 days’ writing tuition (average 4 hours per day)
A tapas tour in Granada city
An opportunity to read through completed work at the end of the course
Excursions
Transfers to and from Granada airport
The cost is 1,650€ for the week. Flights are not included.
