“I can always think of great situations, but how do I turn them into a story?” We all have a collection of ideas and even notes toward a story that somehow never come to fruition. We recognize compelling moments when we see them: a homeless person treated callously by a passerby; a child lost on a crowded street and reaching out to the wrong stranger; a space ship landing in a suburban neighborhood which can only be seen by one family. These are all interesting ideas which suggest narratives, but they are not yet fully formed. In this seminar, we’ll explore a variety of ways to develop our fragments into fully realized stories.
