Course Description

Throughout history, playwrights have used their gifts to highlight social movements, Every artist tells a story with their art. What makes a good story? Where do story ideas come from? What is writer's block and why does it happen!? The scariest part of writing is staring at that blank page. In this course we examine everything about a story. We look deeply into story structure and how it can help shape an idea into a great story. The course provides a safe, playful atmosphere to experiment with different resources for stories, such as life experiences, news articles, interviews, history, and mythology. Students will be introduced to different forms in weekly reading assignments and a series of in-class exercises explore or introduce different writing forms, such as short stories, personal essay, plays, and even poems or songs, and generate a notebook filled with unique story ideas from which you craft several short pieces.
