Class Description

Structuring a story can - at times - seem like an unwieldy exercise. Even though the story happened to you, deciding which events and details will convey a story’s personal importance can feel like trying to tame the ocean. This four-week class explores the role Plot and Structure play in building stories. Students will use written, verbal, and multi-media exercises to learn how to plot and structure their stories to enrich the tales they want to tell. Pre-Req: Storytelling Level One and Improv Level Two would be helpful.

Instructor: Robert Weinstein
