Thanks to funding from the Halifax Regional Municipality and Nova Scotia Communities, Culture, Tourism & Heritage, we are thrilled to offer our sixth annual series of online classes and workshops, as well as a panel conversation with award-winning playwrights and dramaturges.
In this introductory class, award-winning playwright Tara Beagan teaches the fundamentals of playwriting from her own perspective. This is an excellent chance to review the basics you might’ve forgotten, and refresh your skills if you’ve been out of practice or struggling to start.
Tara Beagan is a proud Ntlaka’pamux and Irish “Canadian” halfbreed from Mohkintsis (Calgary, Alberta). She is co-founder/director of ARTICLE 11 with her most cherished collaborator, Andy Moro. She served as the artistic director of Native Earth Performing Arts from February 2011 to December 2013. A Dora Mavor Moore Award–winning playwright, she has been in residence at Cahoots Theatre, NEPA, the National Arts Centre, and Berton House. Five of her twenty plus plays have been published, and her first film script, 133 Skyway, co-written with Randy Redroad, won the imagineNATIVE award for best Canadian drama. Beagan is also a Dora and Betty Mitchell Award–nominated actor.
