Past workshops
Creating Character
with visiting writer & director, Rachel Creeger
How do you create an original character?
How do you decide what they look or sound like, where they are and what's happening to them?
This workshop will focus on character writing. Dynamic and fun, this creative session is for teens who have an awesome imagination and could be the next generation of story makers for page, stage or screen!
