Soulful Screenwriting Workshop Series
Soulful Screenwriting helps you dive into the soul of a screenplay, and yourself as a writer. This is an empowering interactive workshop, where we explore key dramatic narrative storytelling principles, as well as common pitfalls to avoid to make your screenplay more effective.
Soulful Screenwriting is not just for screenwriters. Much of what we discuss applies to other forms of dramatic narrative, such as a play or modern novel.
Bring a notebook! The series includes in-class writing exercises to help you get out of your own way, get creative juices flowing, and benefit your stories – whether a rewrite or starting from scratch.
If you don’t already have a story or screenplay to work on, you’ll have the chance to zone in on one idea during the first two sessions. For maximum benefit, focus one particular story for the duration of the workshop series.
RECOMMENDED VIEWING LIST: movies and a couple of TV shows we will talk about in the class - especially the priority list.
Each meeting begins with a brief guided meditation to get present.
