Come experiment with character and story!
By incorporating techniques well-known to performers, Daniel
Will-Harris pares back the writing experience to make it engaging, embodied and
fun to do. Instead of focusing on the abstract, structural elements of writing,
Daniel asks participants to go straight to the heart of story—the character. In
this method, characters can be anything: people, objects or places. The stories
that emerge from this work are fluid, expressive and meaningful without being
hedged in by formal rules. Writers who have used this technique develop their
pieces into stories, scripts for theatre, screenplays, teleplays and web
series.
Daniel Will-Harris is a best-selling author, performer, and
designer. Performance highlights include roles in three feature films and
improvisation with BATS improv group in San Francisco. He has written for stage
and screen, short fiction, autobiographical humour, technical papers and
editorials. He is also a designer of watches which have been displayed and sold
at the MOMA and Guggenheim art museums.
