PLAYWRITING
This 10-week workshop is designed to help new and experienced writers start
or develop new plays into scripts that are ready to be put on stage. Each
4-hour session includes: a warm-up writing exercise, reading and discussion
of works in progress, reading assignments from dramatic literature to
illustrate and inspire writers with their work, and a closing exercise to
focus on the next week's work. The workshop culminates in readings of the
works in progress at East West Players' David Henry Hwang Theater.

About the Class:
Getting Your Sh*t Together: The Ultimate Career Boot Camp for Artists.
Created by artist, curator, and legendary CalArts professor Karen
Atkinson, Getting Your Sh*t Together (GYST) is the often-imitated
workshop for emerging artists, and for artists who've been "emerging"
longer than they expected. Over 500 artists have graduated from GYST
since 2002 and their continued success and contributions to the art
world are what gives GYST such a great reputation.
GYST teaches you the business stuff you should have learned in art
school, but didn't. GYST values self-sufficiency and presents you with
information, skills, and strategies to make things happen without
necessarily waiting around for some arbiter of culture to validate your
work. We're not concerned with producing slick, commercialized artists,
nor is this some new age, touchy-feely "find your inner artist" crap.
GYST is a comprehensive class for artists, by artists that will teach
you bare-knuckled, practical strategies for negotiating the baffling
terrain of the contemporary art world.
Over 8-weeks, you'll create and refine your "presentation package,"
including your artist statement, bio, resume, portfolio, and more, with
the full editorial and technical support of GYST's staff.
The class culminates with Curator Speed Dating. Get real-world feedback
on your portfolio and proposals from some of the area's hottest
curators. Past curators have been LA Times Art Critic David Pagel, LA
Weekly Critic Doug Harvey, LACE Director Carol Stakenas, Artillery
Editor Tulsa Kinney, and curator and writer Shana Nys Dambrot.
Students also get a complimentary copy of the new GYST software, which
usually retails for $150. The MAC and PC based program is packed with
all the organizing tools and information resources every artist needs.

SUCCESS STORIES
"Two weeks after finishing GYST, I had a studio visit from Robert
Berman. Because I had recently gotten my sh*t together, I was able to
send him a portfolio before the visit. I think it really helped - he
offered me a solo show. Thanks, GYST! Really, thank you. I mean it."
- Alumni Cameron Gray had his first solo show (ever) in 2007 at the
renowned Robert Berman Gallery and sold several large canvases. He's
currently represented by Berman's Gallery.
- GYST Alumni Ari Kletzky was the subject of an extensive article on the
front page of the LA Times Sunday Arts section. His featured Islands of
LA project was developed over the course of our GYST workshop. Kletzky
(who has a BA in business) recently quit his day-job at a loan agency
and currently is enrolled in Cal Art's Fine Arts MFA program.
TESTIMONIALS

exceeded – the amount of info on grant writing and web design, the
night we spent talking about exhibition spaces – so much more
information than anticipated." – Megan D.
"I cant believe how affordable the class is! Seriously, the wealth
of information is worth a GAZILLION times more than the cost."

the help with revisions was the biggest thing for me." – Carolyn
