Alternative Structures, Familiar Patterns
DATE CHANGE: This class will now start on 3/11 and is 4 sessions long. This has been updated from the print catalog.
Intermediate | Each piece we set out to write presents endless choices and decisions. By studying the structures and patterns that often emerge from creative chaos, we will explore strategies for designing a story to amplify its desired effects. Using Jane Alison’s Meander, Spiral, Explode as a jumping point, we will review stories from Margaret Atwood, Stuart Dybek, Carmen Maria Machado, and others. Using prompts from our readings, we will generate and workshop new work.
