StoryMaker

Grades 3 to 6

Three one hour sessions.
Students will participate in weekly video-classes hosted by a professional writer and artist.  Workshops offer students the opportunity to work collaboratively with one another and receive direct, individualized instruction. Over the course of three sessions, students will develop characters, settings and problems to create an original story. After each workshop students will be sent Creativity Sheets that reinforce writing skills and help them move their story along. Finished stories will be featured in an e-magazine and shared online. We have different themes for each StoryMaker

PlayMaker

Grades 4 to 8

Three one hour sessions.

This workshop focuses on dialogue as a form for story. Student’s will be virtually introduced to a professional actor who will walk them through character creation, fun exercises to get them embodying a character, and the basics of monologue and dialogue writing. The students will write a scene that professional actors will then perform for them.

ArtMaker

Grades 3 to 6

A one hour workshop focused on drawing and sharing stories through art. This Zoom session is beginner-friendly and facilitated by a professional artist. 

Kids will learn the basics of visual communication, and how to tell a story through pictures. Drawing fundamentals and character creation are covered, with an emphasis on empowering participants to use these tools to tell their own stories. 

Writers Group
