SUMMARY:Author Reading: Andrew Black
DESCRIPTION:Join Andrew Black on Saturday June 27\, at Indy Reads for a discussion of his new book\, Signature Pedagogies for the Playwriting Classroom!\n\n\nJoin Andrew Black at Indy Reads on Saturday\, June 27 at 3pm for a reading\, moderated discussion\, and signing of his new work: Signature Pedagogies for the Playwriting Classroom: Spotlight on the Novice Playwright! \nAll ages are welcome at this event! \nAll proceeds from sales at Indy Reads support the nearly 500 adult students in our English literacy programs. \n\n\n\nSignature Pedagogies for the Playwriting Classroom \nDrawing on qualitative research exploring the techniques of playwriting instructors\, this book outlines signature pedagogies within playwriting instruction for ‘novice’ writers and how they may be reimagined and reinvigorated. \nThrough research gathered in interviews with 11 instructors\, and surveying their methods\, syllabi and handouts\, Andrew Black interrogates key challenges within dramatic writing pedagogy: the myth that it\, along with creativity\, cannot be taught; the lack of clarity about the instructional value of playwriting education for diverse contemporary audiences; the tendency to allow the writing product to drive instruction rather than process; and the tension between traditional and experimental models of play construction and how this can confound instructional techniques. \n\n\n\nMeet the Author:  \nAndrew Black \nAndrew Black is a playwright and playwriting instructor with a PhD in Theatre/Performance Studies from the University of Missouri\, Columbia\, and an MFA in Playwriting from Ohio University\, Athens. He is on the faculty of the Indiana Writers Center and Dramatists Guild Institute. \nFor more information\, go to www.andrewblackplaywright.com. \n\n\nMeet your Moderator  \n\n\n\nBecky Schlomann (she/her) is an Indianapolis playwright\, theatre director\, and actor.
