专业概况

Our MFA in playwriting is a three-year program. We are looking for students who are committed to: the athletic development of their craft; the deep interrogation of the forms and purposes of their art, and of the place of art in the larger world; a leaning into faithful transformation of society through theatrical action.

Students take a strong hand in designing their own course of study; they are given opportunities to learn and opportunities to teach as well (the process of constructing and executing syllabi is so useful to the articulation of mission). Candidates for graduation submit a text of their choosing representing the most thorough exercise of their guiding experiments. This text may be a play or it may take some other shape. It is referred to here as a thesis and it is submitted in May of their final year. These are stored in Brown’s library system, digitally. Along the way to the final year there are multiple opportunities for workshop and presentation.

Brown is a chief and storied site for the formation of playwrights, established to grant broad inventive license while offering close mentorship and profound resources (in the Department, the University, and the greater community, locally to internationally). Alumni distinguish themselves by their professional credits, and by their collegial élan. Brown’s resources are deep—gorgeous stores of intellectual and artistic capacity, a deep history, a will to innovate and collaborate, outstanding libraries, a substantial array of interdisciplinary opportunities, and students who are rightly and well authorized to formulate and execute their own experiments.

This is a promising hour for the arts, and writing in particular. There are new, global drives to form social groups that center on ideals (this, at the heart of performance). After years of innovation in media technology, there is a sharp hunger for immediacy (again, at the heart of live performance). There is a reordering of public space, physically and virtually. After decades of important skepticism there is a new search for ways of making meaning (and the words are expression and capture of comprehension).
