The Art of the Screenplay
23 Sep 1999 :
Screen Training Ireland are set to launch the results of one of their most ambitious training projects yet with the 30th September production of The Art of the Screenplay.

Six scripts, which had originally been written for a medium other than film such as for theatre or as a novel, were chosen from a range of submissions for the training course. During a three-month intensive workshop series these scripts were then developed into screenplays.

The workshops have been based around a renowned course model developed by Professor Brendan Ward of the Graduate Film Faculty, Columbia University, New York. The six screenplays are My Sole Desire by Yvonne Cullen; Second Nature by Carmel Winters; Angel of Death by Michael Mee; Green by Anthony Goulding; Justice by Hugh Murphy and Citycowtitty by Marina Ni Dhubhain.

Vesuvius Theatre Company have been given the difficult job of fusing theatre and film live on stage. “We had to dispense with the divide between the actor and the audience. In a traditional theatre setting the audience is usually separated by the orchestra pit, a physical divide. We wanted to bring the audience onto the stage and within the acting”, Vanessa Fielding Artistic Director explained. Each screenplay has been developed into a feature length film and the Vesuvius production will present a thirty minute extract from each. The productions will use professional actors and, importantly for this type of crossover, each piece will be directed by an established film director.

Also supported by the Irish Film Board, Screen training Ireland see this initial presentation as an opportunity to launch the screenplays into the commercial arena. The next stage of development will be to find a way to bring the work to the real screen as a feature.

Each of the screenplays will be presented in the Vicar St. venue on Thomas Street on 30th September from 12:00pm – 5:00pm. Further information from Screen Training Ireland.
