This class will provide you with the tools you need to find and develop your stories. Using a wide array of exercises, you will learn to generate stories from the memories of events in your life. You will then share these memories and refine them into stories. We will focus on the distinction between a scene in a story and the narration leading up to, around the scene, and following after the scene. This class will expand your story repertoire while teaching you the skills to hone your stories to fit in an allotted time while converging on a theme and rising to the expectations of the audience with whom you share them.
