About this event
When is the first time you told a story? Was it by a campfire? Was it to get out of trouble? Did you love the craft of the spark of the idea, the throughline of the thesis, and the success of the resolution? In ‘Storyteller Sessions’ Workshop we explore different approaches to storytelling for Playwrights, Film Writers, and Musical Book Writers.
Throughout this workshop, you can expect a guide to writing and editing a play, screenplay, or book (musical). You will receive a PDF of exercises and exerpts from books on Storytelling compiled by Janelle Lawrence.
