Class Description:
Class Description:
We all want heroes to cheer for and villains we want to see vanquished. Just as often, we have anti-heroes and antagonists twisting within relatable webs of intrigue.
In this session, we’ll go through the ways we can craft amazing characters who are fully equipped to enchant audiences. Good, bad, otherwise, we’ll look at all the ways we can bring imaginary people to life.Bring a character you’re planning and we’ll build them up together!
May 3, 2025 - WORLDS OF WONDER AND AMAZEMENT - 10am-4pm
Class Description:
The worlds we escape to are often the most profound. We explore the Galactic Empire with Luke Skywalker just as we venture through all of Middle-Earth with Frodo Baggins. When Katniss decides to take on The Capitol, we stand with her. Stephen King’s readers know the towns of Derry and Castle Rock better than their own homes.
Together, we’ll discuss how to shape such places, from landmarks to history, from citizens to sensory details.Bring a world you have in mind. We’ll make it bigger. Have a character who needs a home? Let’s find it together.
