  5. SA21 (Skill) Critically apply dramaturgy analysis techniques and methods, that arise both from acquired creative experience and the comparison or fusion of written composition model documents.

Content

This module presupposes a certain level of previous knowledge on the part of the students (professional experience or training acquired in the subject) which will be taken into account before the registration of the subject.
Like Laboratory I, it is a theoretical-practical module. There will be reflection on categories, problems, methodologies and techniques specific to the discipline.

The theoretical part will focus on concepts related to the contemporary debate (history, fiction, commitment, score text, material text, rhapsody, implicit receiver design, etc.) The practical part, according to these ideas, will focus exclusively on exercises and processes contemporary dramatic writing staff.
