Join us for the launch of the Solstice Seminars, featuring “Writing for Stage & Screen” from October 29 through 30, 2010. Participants will learn playwriting or screenwriting basics, generate new material, and revise newly created scenes for a staged reading. In addition, students will attend a play in nearby Boston, and enjoy a screening of a film with commentary by a special guest. (Details about the play, film, and special guest coming soon.)
The Solstice Seminars are two-day intensives that offer writers the opportunity to explore and deepen their knowledge of craft. The Seminars are designed to build upon and expand the concentrations of the Solstice MFA in Creative Writing Program by focusing on one aspect or sub-genre of fiction, creative nonfiction, poetry, or writing for young people. Like the Solstice MFA in Creative Writing Program, the Solstice Seminars provide a supportive, welcoming environment in which writers of all backgrounds are encouraged to take creative risks.
The Solstice Seminars are an affordable, high impact, and low time-commitment alternative for busy working writers. Seminars are offered in addition to our bi-annual course audit program, which welcomes members of the New England writing community to audit graduate-level courses during our Solstice MFA Program’s summer and winter residencies.
