The Subject is You: True Personal Storytelling (ONLINE)
Learn how to find and craft the honest, hilarious, painful and transformative true stories in your own everyday life in this encouraging and participatory workshop. Through writing exercises, discussion and even a little improv, we’ll focus on the definition of “story” and the essential building blocks that make up a story: identifying conflict and dramatic arc; bringing scenes to life with action, emotion and sensory detail; and embracing your unique voice. Our final class session, we'll perform a very informal online storytelling show for invited friends and family.
