Tip: Start with a well-defined character and grow plot from this.

After seeing
Constellations, Lynne Gagliano of Royal Court Theatre ran a workshop for us. We did
some exercises in pairs alternating lines. One of us wanted something, the
other was to refuse it. The drama had to be a short dialogue of 10 lines,
reducing number of words by one each time. Then the actors had to swap roles
half way through.
