Mae Cyflwyniad i Ysgrifennu Drama yn rhoi cyfle i fyfyrwyr archwilio'r broses ysgrifennu ar gyfer perfformio. Gan ganolbwyntio'n bennaf ar ysgrifennu gwaith newydd i’r llwyfan, sut mae rhywun yn datblygu'r ymarfer o lunio naratif, datblygu cymeriad, dadansoddi strwythur a drafftio syniadau i fod yn gynhyrchiad? Edrychir ar y berthynas a’r cydweithio rhwng yr awdur â'r cyfarwyddwr a'r actorion ynghyd â gwerthuso'r tebygrwydd a'r gwahaniaethau allweddol i ysgrifennu ar gyfer y sgrin.

Crynodeb o Gynnwys y Cwrs:

• Cyflwyniad i'r technegau a'r dulliau allweddol a ddefnyddir i ysgrifennu ar gyfer y llwyfan

• Archwilio proses awduron o’r testun i’r cynhyrchiad

• Cyflwyno ystod amrywiol o brosesau awduron

• Cyfle i ymchwilio i lais y dysgwr ei hun
