Writing Workshop : HOW TO BUILD A GOOD STORY

Universe, mankind, peoples, biographies, days, moments : from the largest to the smallest, everything has a story.
Cinema, video, TV, theater, novels, poems, lyrics, comics, photo-novels and more : we’re surrounded by stories.

But what is a story ? How does it work, deeply ? How to build and manage it ?

A writer for 15 years, having studied storytelling for the past 6 years, I'm offering to teach you in English the fundamentals of storytelling, in 4 sessions :

• 1/ General intro : the story has a message, the story creates identity. Tool : the dramatic scheme.
• 2/ The character. Properties, dynamics, functional needs. Tool : the system of the characters.
• 3/ Close up : how to build the storyline. Sequences. Scenes. Tools for dramatic intensity improvment. Tools for information management within the story.
• 4/ A complete method of work, from the first idea to the final result.

(With examples from Shakespeare, Radiohead, Monty Pythons, Babel, Buffalo 66, and others.)

After this class, you can join if you wish a Monitoring Workshop meant to advance your own artistic projects.

The price is 5€ per person per session.
