In the first level of our Media Arts Pathway students focus on writing stories and developing characters that connect with audiences.

 

Mission

This course focuses on production as collaborative art. It is designed to solidify your basic understanding of the elements, functions, and processes of production as an art form. You will participate in writing, script analysis, directing, design, acting, self evaluation, and critique. You will also study various genres, historical/cultural periods, and styles in the theatrical tradition through reading, writing and researching.
