Event Information

CREATING COMPELLING CHARACTERS WRITING WORKSHOP WITH JAN CARSON (PLAYWRIGHT 'THE VELVETEEN RABBIT') - What makes a character believable and memorable? How do you go about writing characters people will want to spend time with? In this interactive workshop we’ll take a close look at some of the world’s best loved characters and develop our own from scratch, learning how to weave found material and real-life experience into the people who populate our stories. We’ll look at motivation, physical description, character growth and how to make characters feel distinct. Through a variety of fun writing exercises and chats, we’ll also spend some time thinking about the relationship between character and plot.
