Devising Dialogue: Writing from Plays with LJ Schwartau

About

Through generative writing exercises, students will create dialogue, set scenes, and write stage directions. With prompts, individual participants will create short solo monologues, and the group will also devise scenes collaboratively based on a short play reading.

Laura-Jean Schwartau is a member of Actors’ Equity and SAG-AFTRA. As a director, actor, and choreographer, LJ has worked in Minneapolis, MN and NYC, and has been associated with Pendragon Theatre over the decades. She is a SUNY Plattsburgh Theatre Department faculty professor where she has devised productions and teaches FanFiction Drama classes. LJ also does production work through The Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival.
