In this course we will study and read some famous VERY short stories. We will discuss successful storytelling techniques and how literary authors use them.
Then, using a personal essay format - class participants will write their own stories based on a personal experience and will be performing/presenting them to the class with the goal of incorporating successful literary storytelling techniques with performance storytelling techniques.
There will be homework. There will be mandatory sharing. This class is a journey.
