Abstract

George Pierce Baker introduced the idea of the “writer’s workshop” in his Harvard English 47 class in the early twentieth century, and since then it has become an entrenched pedagogical model for training playwrights. Contemporary manifestations of the workshop, however, have resulted in writers who have become isolated from other theatre artists and are therefore potentially ignorant of their creative processes. This article looks at the history of the writer’s workshop and makes an argument for a new model, which is both collaborative and accessible, and better responds to contemporary performance practice.
