Performance Studies students learned about the art of screenwriting during a recent workshop event with Paul Guyot<\/a>, a professional producer and screenwriter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dr. Michelle Simms<\/a>, lecturer, invited Guyot to work with students in the Special Topics: Story for the Screen course for two weeks in March to produce their own screenplays. Funding was provided by a grant from the Academy for the Visual and Performing Arts<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Simms said she structured the course for students to work alongside a professional screenwriter, who would lead class activities designed to produce a short film script during the visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMy goal was to investigate if this contextualized collaborative writing activity would develop more efficient and deeper concept attainment than I have seen in students in past semesters,\u201d Simms said. \u201cI am seeing a positive impact using this approach.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
