The next run of the online course #2 – The Architecture starts on Wednesday 30th September and runs for 12 sessions, every Wednesday, from 8pm to 10pm Paris Time.

a) participants that have completed course #1 or worked through book 1
b) playwrights that have a play in development and now want to focus on the structure of their play
c) writers in other forms (such as film scripts or short stories) who are interested in exploring structure through performative complex realism
