Storytelling is at the heart of our human experience and it is unlimited in the forms it can take. This seminar will explore a selection of storytelling traditions, both in and out of the creative writing space. You will investigate the strategies employed by writers, artists, playwrights, and game designers, and you will test these strategies out for yourselves in your own storytelling. The aim is not for you to prioritize one style or strategy, but to approach the act of creation with a philosophy of radical play and discovery.
