Your Mo`olelo Playwriting Class Instructor: Seema Sueko, Artistic Director Dates: Tuesdays, 6:00 - 8:30 p.m., for six sessions, September 11 - October 16, 2007 Location: 7071 Convoy Court, 2nd Floor Conference Room, San Diego, CA 92111 Fee: $250 / $200 for AASD or AEA Members & Early Bird Registration (By September 1, 2007) Designed for beginning to intermediate-level playwrights, each class session will include an introduction of various playwriting tools, elements or tactics, followed by exercises to fully explore them. The goal is to help you write your story. No one can teach you how to write a play - there is no set way, no definitive "how to" or rulebook. Rather, what we can do is provide you with tools to begin writing your play, or to re-write it, and the confidence to trust your impulse and write the story you need to write. If you attend the first session and determine that this isn't the right class for you, we will gladly refund you for the remaining classes. About the Instructor: Seema Sueko is the Co-Founder and Artistic Director of Mo`olelo Performing Arts Company. Her play, "remains," was Mo`olelo's inaugural show, and it has since received readings and productions in San Francisco, Chicago and Minnesota and is part of the theater curriculum at the University of Puget Sound. Seema was commissioned by Mixed Blood Theater to co-write "Messy Utopia," which was produced in Minneapolis earlier this year. Directing credits include "Since Africa" and "The Adoption Project: Triad" for Mo`olelo.
