The Storytellers Workshop
The Storytellers’ Workshop is for anyone who loves creating stories and characters. Unlike a traditional writing workshop, students will work together to “build” a complete story, piece by piece, designing setting, characters, and plot by brainstorming together, playing writing mini-games, and role-playing. Students will also get to design a visual storyboard using drawing and collage to tell the story they created so that “readers” can follow along.

*This workshop will run for 10 weeks.
