Description

 Making Meaning Without Conflict: Alternative Techniques of Storytelling

In this studio-styled workshop, we’ll deviate from the traditional story arc and identify alternative narrative structures for short stories that empower us to write more originally. We’ll identify how a form should fit a story as opposed to a story fitting into a form, and we’ll write to exercises and prompts that deemphasize conflict and plot by instead focusing on world building, image stacking, and characterization.
