English 291us - Lakes Writing Workshop: Untelling the Story

This workshop will focus on how creators can connect more profoundly with an audience by thinking of themselves as conduits for stories that need to be told. We’ll spend time and energy noticing and observing the world around us. You’ll be challenged to earn high levels of trust and partnership from the
people in your stories. And we’ll examine how your subjects, and your audience, can be co-authors in your creative process. You’ll be welcome to choose text, visuals, audio or multimedia to complete your assignments. Throughout the workshop you’ll also learn to use serendipity, risk, meditation, and mystery as powerful tools for building narrative experiences. Admission by permission of the instructor, based on a brief application.
