Interested in knowing how stories function? Or how a tightly constructed plot could help your writing?
In this workshop we will look at techniques on how to structure your writing. We will be covering classic story shapes such as the Hero's journey as well as other alternative structures, going over the benefits and drawbacks to each. All experience/levels welcome. Although the examples used will be focusing mainly on Theatre, TV and Film the lessons will apply to all forms of storytelling.
