The curtain rises: initiation to playwriting and the performing arts
With Maria DelgadoProfessor and Vice President of 'The Royal Central School of Speech and drama', University of London
Behind many television series, movies or radio programs, even novel adaptations or translations, there is a playwright; a professional trained in the theatrical field who expands his or her knowledge to other arts.
Writing is a official document. This is the opinion of María Delgado, professor and Vice President of The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama at the University of London, with extensive experience in the world of theater and the performing arts.
In this episode we talk with her about issues such as the techniques we must follow to write a play, the importance of reading theater to get started in the writing of this genre, or the need to have a peripheral vision of other arts to dedicate oneself professionally to this field.
