Class Description

Whether you’re a precocious twelve-year old entering your first spelling bee; or a newly divorced forty-five year-old divorcee venturing into online dating for the first time, how your stories play-out depend entirely on who you are and what you want. This four-week class explores the role Character plays in building stories. Students will use written, verbal, and crafty exercises to learn how mood, motivation, personality, history, and habit drive the stories you want to tell. Pre-Req: Storytelling Level One or Improv Level Two would be helpful.
