Stories from the Graveyard workshop at 826 Valencia
Workshop designed and conducted at 826 Valencia. Taught by myself & Angie Needels, assisted by Keri Smith & Christina Jones. The course consisted of three days, for 2 hours per day, and the classroom was about a dozen kids, ages 11-14.
Synopsis:
What is the line between the unreal and the real? Where do stories come from? How do you turn an idea into a tale? How do some of the best stories start? This workshop will answer these questions through a variety of brainstorming and story seeding exercises that will show you how to stretch your imagination and harness it into a reality of words and images.
Using the lives of characters buried in a fictional graveyard as a framework, small student groups will create their own one-page story while we build a similar piece together as a class. These stories will be submitted for inclusion in 826's Quarterly and published in OLOGY magazine.
