I use this page for reflections, when the class is over. This is an extension of the NOTES page, which I update through the semester.
There are several names and titles are missing: Oedipus Rex by Sophocles and Moliere... Sometimes I can squeeze in an extra play, but it takes a week to cover any extra text...
Some lose pages, like Lorca -- I like him, I directed The House of Bernarda Alba, but no time for him in both drama classes.
I placed some links into the popup window; the theory pages related to script analysis. We end up with the social (historical) commentaries on our reality (most recent titles like "How I Learned to Drive"). This is why I have a subtitle to Grammar of Drama: Script Analysis of the Last Century.
Summary
There are several way to go from here. Directing, Acting pages?
Questions
What's next? Well, I wrote drama pages for theatre majors; go to your directories -- acting, directing, film...
* In addition to the dramaturgue pages. I have to work on playwrighting pages!

2004: I am tired of webpages. I am waiting for the time, when I can use them for writing, not notes. When? I don't know. Where is this time?
Not even on this PS page? Not even at the end of the journey through so many great plays? Something is wrong. The narrative should give a birth to itself!
Especially, the history of drama came to its post-historical phaze.
So, what was this 25 centuries long story about?

Part 4. Writing 1. Idea (proposal)
2. Outline (oral presentation in class)
3. Scenes, monologues
4. First Draft
5. Rewrites
6. Final Draft (class), mant drafts after it...
addresses (sample): script.vtheatre.net/413/1/1.html -- part I, lesson 1
Theme-thought, according to different playwrights (Shakespeare, Ibsen, Strindberg, Chekhov and so on) and directors (Fillini, Kurosawa, Tarkovsky, Bergman pages).
Connections with other themes (list): family, gender and sex...
Finally, my own practical investigations: shows.vtheatre.net (only recently I began to make themes pages, Don Juan 2003, for example).
And the nonfiction (writing), of course: HIM, Father-Russia, PostAmeriKa, Self, POV, Tech (gatepages are in WRITE directory).
Yeah, yeah, there is more -- "philo" pages, metaphysics: in theatre theory directory, for instance (topics-bar: space, time and etc.)
"Beyond Academic"...

Mostly questions to myself... (the next time I teach it -- Playscript -- Fall 2008).
The biggest question for myself -- am I commiting myself to write another textbook (Script Analysis for Actors and Directors)?
Questions? Write them down!
[very important questions I write in big letters -- and post them on the walls of my appartment!]
Homework
Read plays! Even when you are not in college anymore.
Or better, much better -- write the plays!
NB
Come back later -- new texts. I'll post them (from the class notes).
