August 22, from 2-4pm at Tenley-Friendship Library (4450 Wisconsin Ave. NW, DC 20016)
-Workshop #1 — Writing Through the Actor’s Lens
This workshop helps writers deepen narrative texture by borrowing from the actor’s study of human behavior. Through guided, generative prompts and examples, participants explore a character’s desire or objective; obstacles or conflicts; given circumstances (external conditions); and the character’s movement, gestures, and facial expressions to create more vivid, embodied writing that unites psychological intention with concrete, sensory detail.
August 29, from 2-4pm at Tenley-Friendship Library (4450 Wisconsin Ave. NW, DC 20016)
Workshop #2 — Writing Through the Theatre Artist’s Lens
