What is "playbuilding"?
- a series of scenes related by theme! You do not need to tell a story with your scenes, because you are giving facets of the theme rather than tracing the life of a character, or following a story arc.
- you should have both serious and comic scenes
- you must include a scene from an existing play or movie (including the actual dialogue), music, songs and dance, dialogue, a poem, several tableaus, a mime, a quote, some research on your theme (facts, historical background, surveys, etc.), a metaphor (which can act as a thread through your play) and your play must have a title (which can make use of your metaphor).
