If you want to develop your playwriting skills, this is the ideal workshop. From the initial idea to the final script, here you will find the guidance you need to turn your idea into theater.

Writer and playwright Carlos Bernal shares his personal "toolbox" and guides you through dramaturgy techniques that will help you transform your talent and inspiration into microtheater pieces. At the heart of this proposal you will find curiosity, poetry, and writing.

Contents

 1. SYNTHESIS. Synthesis is a fundamental aspect of theatrical art. In this short genre, conciseness plays a decisive role. Climax and denouement.

  2. TURNING POINTS. The unexpected happens, something different occurs. Textual and non-textual surprises. Stimulate interest in the plot to keep the audience's imagination active. What is said and what is suggested. Misunderstandings.

  3. GROWING INTEREST More information, more feelings. From an unusual topic to growing curiosity. The tension of the drama.

  4 WHO, WHAT, WHERE. The plot. The pace and style. The conflicts.
