3-D Storytelling
Introductory/Intermediate | In any good story, a character must want something—and something else must get in the way. A character’s desire is met with danger, leading to the story’s sense of drama. This class explores techniques of “3-D” storytelling (i.e., Desire + Danger = Drama) in order to bring your stories to life. You’ll read samples by authors from Tobias Wolff and Flannery O’Connor to Michael Chabon and Jhumpa Lahiri as you develop and workshop your own full-length “3-D” story.
