This special pairing of micro-memoir and storytelling skills is like two workshops in one. Both crafts require the other and the workshop is designed to support and enhance both your writing and storytelling skills to craft memoir.
The primary source materials for the course will be – memories, journals, relationships, body awareness, childhood, a loved one, things that you are burning to write about – all catalyst and inspiration for crafting your memoir. Students are welcome to bring the themes, topics or objects closest to their heart.
This course is open to beginners, intermediate, and those who are interested in and adore this short form.
Participants will learn: the craft of memoir writing through the lens of 3 crucial story beats (moments that raise the stakes for a compelling and surprising story), and correlating prompts to identify pivotal moments of the memoir (or documentary film). We will study story structure from the Save the Cat workbook template.
