Who are you as a writer? What is your voice? When you move from project to project, genre to genre, or even one medium to another, what essential elements always come through? It's not just a question for marketing yourself in the world. 当你坐下来写作时,答案可能是你独自在房间里最重要的工具之一.
In this intensive afternoon workshop, 我们将研究一些不同作家作品中的场景和段落, as well as of Playwright in Residence Lily Blau, and analyze what defines each writer's voice. Then, after a free writing exercise, 我们将讨论那些参加研讨会的人的工作,以便每个人都能更好地理解自己的声音,以及他们下一步想要探索的道路. At least on paper.
