In this eight-week online introductory class, students explore core Neo-Futurist tenets of honesty, brevity, and chance in order to create short recorded plays in our unique, non-illusory aesthetic.
Using games and exercises, weekly writing challenges and regular in-class workshops, students learn specific play formulas and styles that recur in our weekly show The Infinite Wrench Goes Viral. Students will also learn to be a part of a consensus-based ensemble, giving and receiving guided feedback and critique on assignments throughout the course. In the second half of the class, the student ensemble follows a version of the Neo-Futurists’ weekly creative process to write, pitch, direct, edit and perform a showcase of their own original digital two-minute plays. This culminating show is shared and streamed online to the public.
