Workshop for Script Developers and Dramaturgs

On October 4, ScriptAcademy’s annual Workshop for Script Developers and Dramaturgs begins. How do you present your analysis so that creatives can work with it? Effective communication is the key to success in a creative process. Over four Fridays from October 4 to 25, you will work with instructors Henk Burger and Gemma Derksen on the skills of a script editor – analysis, selection, pitching, catching, and editing – with a focus on giving and receiving feedback and professional communication. During the workshop, you will receive tips, tricks, and practical examples, practice a script review with graduated screenwriters from ScriptAcademy, and be taught by specialized (guest) instructors. This course has been specifically developed for professionals who develop films and television drama: producers, creatives, script editors, coaches, consultants, advisors, directors, and graduates in Film and Television Studies with practical experience. In doing so, ScriptAcademy is committed to improving the Dutch screenplay. I have mainly learned not to give my opinion, but to provide feedback based on the script/synopsis. This allows me to help the creator further in their/our search for a finished script that can be filmed. Safe and quickly trusting teachers ensured that I regained my self-confidence in giving substantive feedback. Gemma Derksen has worked as a Story Editor for over 25 years, including as an editor-in-chief at AVRO, NPS, NCRV, and BNNVARA. For HET HELE VERHAAL, she works as an advisor, script coach, and teacher. She currently coordinates the drama for broadcaster MAX, among other things. Henk Burger started as a radio and documentary maker and was an advisor and introducer at the Media Fund for many years. He worked as a dramaturg for NCRV, NPS, and since 2001 at NTR. In addition, he is a screenwriter himself for films (including After the Tone, Gewoon Vrienden) and radio dramas (including Luchten), and has been teaching at ScriptAcademy for 20 years as an instructor for the six-day Basic Screenwriting Course.

Eyeopener - foretaste of screenwriting

The Eyeopener is an accessible half-day workshop designed to introduce you to the craft of screenwriting so that you can discover if it might be something for you. We will cover three theory blocks: Narrative Structure, Characters, Scene, and Dialogue. We will show various film clips to illustrate the theory. In between, there will be short writing assignments during class. You do not need to prepare anything or know anything beforehand. We will discuss the writing assignment afterwards. What did you struggle with? In this way, we constantly alternate theory with practice. The focus is explicitly not on performance, but solely on getting acquainted with and enjoying the profession.
