Playwriting & Dramaturgy (MA) [formerly MA Writing for Theatre] Expand all Course Overview This programme offers students the opportunity to specialise in at least one of the following areas: Playwriting, Arts Journalism (especially theatre criticism), and Non-Fiction Writing About Theatre. This course is unique internationally in focussing on the art of writing for theatre across forms and genres. All students in the course take modules on playwriting and other forms of writing for the theatre—and they then have opportunities to specialise further, based on their own skills and interests. This course is unique internationally in focussing on the art of writing for theatre across forms and genres. All students in the course take modules on playwriting and other forms of writing for the theatre – and they then have opportunities to specialise further, based on their own skills and interests. In blending these forms of writing, we aim to produce graduates with a uniquely well rounded set of skills. Students will not just write plays, but will also attend the theatre weekly. Because they will study both creative writing and arts journalism, our students will have a strong understanding of how their work is judged – and will thus be better able to judge it themselves. Because of NUI Galway’s rich tradition of theatre production, writers will have ample opportunities to workshop and stage their plays. And because Galway has such a strong tradition of live theatre (and other creative arts), students with an interest in arts journalism will be able to see world-class work throughout the academic year. Students also have access to the Abbey Theatre digital archive, providing an insight into the development of work by many major Irish writers, including W.B. Yeats, Sean O’Casey, J.M. Synge, Conor McPherson, Frank McGuinness, Marina Carr, and hundreds of others. The course draws on NUI Galway’s long track record of producing award-winning theatre critics, authors, academics, and playwrights. It involves weekly writers’ workshops with experienced authors, and gives students an excellent grounding in many different skills. The course concludes with the production of a portfolio. This might take the form of a full-length play, an extended series of reviews, or a long biographical or historical essay on a figure or company in the creative arts. A key aspect of the course will be the preparation of candidates for success after graduation: we provide advice on submitting plays for production, or other forms of writing for publication. Regular workshops with writers will form a key part of the course. There are some scholarship opportunities available for this programme.

Optional EN537: Playwright's Workshop II : Adaptation EN537: Playwright's Workshop II : Adaptation Semester 2 | Credits: 10 This workshop-based module not only explores dramatic adaptation across different media but also uses the concept of adaptation to explore a range of playwriting strategies and dramaturgical approaches. Through the examination of play texts and writing tasks, students will learn ways to adapt fiction and documentary materials for the stage and for radio. Similarly, in two hour sessions, they will also examine the adaptation of established dramaturgical models such as the hero’s journey and the fairytale along with the more radical adaptation strategies of contemporary theatre. Students should be prepared to read work aloud in class and will learn to critique each other’s work. The module is assessed by the completion of a short analysis of a play in terms of the hero’s journey and fairytale structures; the writing of a short scene for radio and the completion of a longer scene of adaption for the stage. Students are encouraged to think of these scenes as the beginning of larger projects that could be developed and are encouraged to enter writing competitions such as RTE P.J. O’Connor Awards or to submit work to The New Theatre play reading sessions. Learning Outcomes - Compare styles of dramatic adaptations across different media. - Analyse recurring dramatic structures in theatrical adaptation including the hero's journey and fairytale structures. - Execute original adaptation of fictional and documentary materials for the stage and/or radio. - Apply critical reflection strategies to self-assessment of original creative work within a lineage of artistic practice.

Nua-Ghaeilge [Modern Irish] (MA) Expand all Course Overview Is ar an Luan agus ar an Máirt a bheidh léachtaí an chúrsa lánaimseartha ar siúl. Is ar an Luan amháin a reáchtálfar an cúrsa páirtaimseartha. Forléargas ar an gCúrsa An bhfuil fonn ort ardcháilíocht a bhaint amach i Léann na Gaeilge? An bhfuil suim agat breis scileanna taighde, anailíse agus cur i láthair a fhorbairt? An bhfuil tú ag smaoineamh ar thaighde a dhéanamh ag leibhéal na dochtúireachta amach anseo? Má tá, b’fhéidir gurb é an MA sa Nua-Ghaeilge an cúrsa duitse. Is í Ollscoil na hÉireann, Gaillimh an ceannródaí náisiúnta ó thaobh Léann na Gaeilge. Tá saineolas ag foireann Roinn na Gaeilge ar gach tréimhse de chuid na Gaeilge, ón luath-thréimhse go dtí an teanga chomhaimseartha. Tá áiseanna taighde den scoth ag an ollscoil agus rinneadh infheistíocht mhór le déanaí i gcartlanna na hollscoile, rud a thugann buntáiste ar leith don mhac léinn ar mian leis/léi taighde a dhéanamh sna bailiúcháin Ghaeilge atá againn. Tá an Ghaeltacht ar leac an dorais againn agus tá teacht ag na mic léinn ar áiseanna foghlama agus taighde den scoth sna campais Ghaeltachta atá ag an ollscoil i gConamara agus i nGaoth Dobhair. Má dhéanann tú an cúrsa lánaimseartha (bliain amháin), beidh léachtaí agus seimineáir ar siúl dhá lá sa tseachtain. Is féidir an cúrsa a dhéanamh go páirtaimseartha chomh maith (thar dhá bhliain) agus beidh léachtaí agat lá amháin sa tseachtain sa chás sin. Agus an cúrsa seo críochnaithe agat, beidh tú in ann: - Feidhmiú go cruinn ag leibhéal gairmiúil agus acadúil trí mheán na Gaeilge sa scríbhneoireacht agus sa labhairt; - Anailís chriticiúil a dhéanamh ar réimsí éagsúla de Léann comhaimseartha na Gaeilge: an Chritic Liteartha, an Chritic Chultúir agus Shóisialta agus an tSochtheangeolaíocht; - Cur chuige idirdhisciplíneach a léiriú san anailís chriticiúil ar réimsí éagsúla de Léann na Gaeilge; - Do chuid taighde agus anailíse a chur i láthair go cumasach agus go héifeachtach ag an leibhéal cuí acadúil; - Taighde nuálach, neamhspleách a dhéanamh ar shainábhar de do rogha féin agus an taighde sin a léiriú i bhfoirm tráchtais. Baineann na torthaí foghlama céanna leis an Dioplóma Iarchéime seachas nach bhfuil taighde neamhspleách i bhfoirm tráchtais le déanamh.

I mo shaol gairmiúil mar iriseoir is gá scagadh agus póirseáil a dhéanamh ar eolas. Go minic, is gá an t-eolas atá ar leas an phobail a aithint, a scaradh ó eolas eile agus a chur in iúl don ghnáthdhuine ar shlí atá sothuigthe. Tairbhe as cuimse a bhí san MA sa Nua-Ghaeilge chun mo chuid scileanna teanga agus anailíse a fhorbairt. Ba luachmhar an taithí chomh maith gur leagadh béim ar scileanna cur i láthair mar chuid den Mháistreacht. Ailbhe Nic Giolla Chomhaill | Mac Léinn PhD Thug mise faoin MA sa Nua-Ghaeilge sa bhliain 2012. Bhí mé díreach tar éis BA a bhaint amach agus ní raibh mé iomlán cinnte cén treo ina rachainn ó thaobh gairm bheatha de. Thug an MA deis dom modúil a roghnú a bhí an-éagsúil óna chéile ach a chuir ar mo chumas scileanna anailíse luachmhara a fhorbairt agus tuiscint den scoth a fháil ar litríocht agus ar chultúr na Gaeilge. Spreag an cúrsa seo dúil mhór sa taighde ionam agus shocraigh mé leanúint den taighde agus tabhairt faoi dhochtúireacht in Ollscoil na hÉireann, Gaillimh. Ní fhéadfainn tabhairt faoin dúshlán sin gan na scileanna teanga, scríbhneoireachta agus cur i láthair a d’fhoghlaim mé le linn na máistreachta. Amanda Bernhardt & Seanchán Ó Cinnéide | Massachusetts Tugadh an deis don bheirt againn an MA i Nua-Ghaeilge a dhéanamh sa bhliain 2012. Le deontas ón Choimisiún Fulbright, bhí muid in ann bogadh go Gaillimh agus tabhairt faoin iarchéim le chéile. I dtús báire, mar Mheiriceánaigh ba dhúshlán mór é na cúrsaí a dhéanamh ag leibhéal chomh hard sin os rud é nach raibh an cúlra teanga céanna againne agus a bhí ag na mic léinn eile. Thug foireann Roinn na Gaeilge neart tacaíochta dúinn, áfach, agus tá muid thar a bheith buíoch díobh uilig. Ní amháin gur saineolaithe amach is amach iad sna hábhair atá á dteagasc acu, múinteoirí agus daoine den scoth atá iontu fosta. Anois, agus muid ar ais sna Stáit, bíonn muid ag teagasc na Gaeilge sna coláistí áitiúla agus ag stiúradh comhráite beo i nGaeilge ar líne. Bhí taithí ar dóigh againn i nGaillimh.
