We begin with character creation, story structure, and dialogue, and build a 10-minute play out of an initial scene. Through an exploration of Freytag, the Hero’s Journey, cyclical storytelling, and mythology, a simple plot will take shape. Careful observation of humans in all their perfections and flaws will people that story, and our words and actions will bring it to life. With in-depth discussions and opportunities for one-on-one mentoring, the process will be both fun and accessible.
