Advanced Storytelling
October 24 @ 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm Pacific
This two-part class meets on Saturdays, October 24 and November 7, and is open only to participants who have completed the Start Your Story Workshop or Storytelling Bootcamp.
Take your personal storytelling to the next level through immersive scene building, narrative tension, and advanced character development. You’ll explore how real-life people can become complex, compelling characters and learn to weave external events with emotional growth, giving your personal narrative greater depth and structure.
Part One meets on Saturday, October 24. There will be no class on Saturday, October 31, in observance of Halloween. During the week between sessions, participants will complete a writing assignment designed to apply what they learned and prepare for Part Two on Saturday, November 7.
Participants should plan to attend both sessions and complete the assignment between them.
