ARC Academy offering second workshop in training series for playwrights interested in perfecting their craft
Adaptation for the Stage, the second workshop in the ARC Academy offerings this season, will take place from on April 23rd and April 30th. The course is open to 6 playwrights with ties to Atlantic Canada who have completed an accredited training program. Each selected participant will receive a $500 honorarium.
Many of the world’s best loved plays are adaptations of previous works: novels, short stories, film, and other media. The session is designed to discuss what makes a good adaptation, what kinds of sources lend themselves to successful adaptations, and the craft needed to accomplish the work. Participants should have already written an adaptation or be considering writing one.
The course will run over a two-week period where participants will meet virtually on two Saturday nights: April 23rd and April 30th. Those interested in applying are asked to send a resumé and a brief letter of interest to ARC’s Artistic Director, Stephen Tobias, at director@atlanticrep.ca. The deadline for applications is 5:00 PM AST, April 9th, 2022.
