When is the first time you told a story? Was it by a campfire? Was it to get out of trouble? Do you love the craft of sparking the idea, the outline of the thesis, and the success of the resolution? In ‘Storyteller Sessions’ we will explore the different approaches and dissect the diverse practices of storytelling for Playwrights, Screen Writers, and Musical Theatre Book Writers. Throughout this course, you can expect a thorough and cohesive guide through writing or editing a play, screenplay, or book (musical). You will receive a daily guide PDF for writing prompts, questions to ponder in your writing, and artists and pieces you should explore! You’ll have the option to use your script or your choice of diverse scripts from contemporary and classical artists to develop, present, and explore! Topics in this course include: Script Formatting, Strengthening a Premise, Storytelling as A Ritual, and many more. Each class meets with the same people twice a week for five weeks culminating in an evening ZOOM Showcase. Each participant can sign up for a 1-hour consultation with Janelle Lawrence. Participants are encouraged to sign up for this course if they have little to advance play, screenplay, or book (musical) skills! Each participant is provided a PDF packet to view before the course to make sure they’re up to speed with some of the language, techniques, and shows that will be referenced/mentioned/worked from. Sign up for this course to strengthen your writing and collaborative teams! Previous Session Course Description Here
