Well I just got back from the workshop with the playwright above – Philip Kan Gotanda. This was one of the best workshops I’ve had and this is without any writing! We got to basically pick his brain about how to write a play.
One homework assignment was to write a 30-page play and we’ll break it down for our next meeting. Luckily, I had “A Dance…” with me, so I turned it in. And for the first time, i’m confident with it. I’m not saying that it’s good, or that this particular play is something that is a masterpiece, but you know what? it’s mine. it’s the story that i wanted to write and it’s done… for the most part. there’s still more i need to work on, but it won’t matter how much he tears it apart – i don’t really care cuz the way i look at it, i did it. i wrote a play. and it’s just the beginning!
