You need to write an original dramatic scene from scratch that could actually be performed on stage. Your script must show clear dramatic intention (what story you want to tell), follow proper script formatting, and be rehearsed and performed so teachers can see it works as a real piece of drama.
What you actually do
- ·Research your chosen topic or theme to develop your dramatic intention
- ·Develop at least two well-rounded characters with clear motivations and background
- ·Draft and format your script using proper conventions (character names, dialogue, stage directions, lighting/sound notes)
- ·Rehearse and perform a live, enacted reading of your complete script for an audience
- ·Refine your script repeatedly based on how it performs, making sure it has flow, dramatic unity, and dramatic impact
