The School of the Arts (SOTA) has created a new literary arts programme with the aim of getting more people to become writers. The school’s existing arts programmes include dance, music, theatre, film, and the visual arts.
At the literary arts programme, students will learn a range of writing genres to develop both breadth and depth in the mastery of writing skills. The genres include fiction and non-fiction, film and stage screenplays, short stories, poetry and prose, as well as journalistic writing.
Ms Lim Geok Cheng, SOTA’s principal, said at the launch: “The introduction of the literary arts programme fills an important gap, where aspiring poets and writers can develop their imagination and craft to the fullest.”
The Literary Arts Advisory Panel will oversee the development of the programme.
