Description of the program

The program will be based on theoretical and practical lessons. The ratio of theory and practice in the program is 30/70. During the 3-month program, the participants have to write practical tasks after listening to the lectures. Each block will have several practical scriptwriting tasks for the participants.

Practical classes according to the program: each of the participants must do a certain number of tasks.
Practical classes last longer than lectures, during which the lecturer has a live discussion with the program participants. Within the framework of each block, each of the lecturers must provide another task to be resolved.

“Tools” (a universal means of acquiring any skills, not as a rule, but as a means to achieve goals). Therefore, all classes will be directed to acquiring new “tools” through structural analysis and performance of practical tasks. The work will be carried out according to the principle of “script-doctoring”, each of the participants will be provided with an analysis of their texts, and individual examples for improving their “tools”. Thus, each of the participants will be able to develop independently and in accordance with their level of training.
