will need to behave professionally. Examine

professional etiquette, how to edit and revise, and

the publishing process, including proper e-mail style

create satisfying stories, to avoid formulaic plots,

and to understand how characters drive an organic

narrative from beginning to end.

reading— learn the proper written format of a script,

and work with actors to experience the casting process

as the playwright.

Teaching Artists: Melody Hession from Compass

Characters Explore how a character’s yearning drives key

element of story, including narrative, dialogue,

conflict, plot and reader empathy. Understanding a

character’s passion is essential to creating a

wants to spend more time.






Dialogue Good dialogue is a great tool for both fiction and

nonfiction writers, yet many writers avoid it. Participants

will explore “real talk” versus written conversation,

analyze what characters should say and how they

should say it, and understand how speech creates

action and propels a story forward.





Memoir and Life Story Writing Whether you want to write a memoir, personal

essay, blog, college essay, or use your own life as the

basis for fiction, life story writing requires that we tell

where we come from and who we are. Learn how to

develop your story’s dramatic shape without

violating the truth, to avoid self-indulgence, and how

to set the stage for a compelling personal narrative.

Applied Arts: MUSIC (TUESDAYS and THURSDAYS)

We are very fortunate to have the support of the PVA program and Anne Arundel

County Public Schools to pair our PVA musicians with the best performers and

teachers in the Annapolis, DC, Baltimore region. The Applied Arts music lesson

program as provided to our PVA students is unique to the PVA program.

Your PVA Applied Arts music lesson is a required core component of the PVA program

and the knowledge and work done in your weekly lesson will be what supports your

work throughout the rest of the program, including recitals, juries and other

associated performances.

Your lesson each week is your prior commitment and takes precedence over any other

school or non-school related activities. It is the student's responsibility to plan

activities around their weekly lesson and to communicate to any coaches or sponsors

this weekly commitment.

It is critical that you are in attendance and prepared for each week's lesson so that

you can continue your musical growth and progress.

Mr. Dembowski, PVA Music Department Chairperson, will schedule your
