Free, virtual, 3 hour creative writing class! Students will leave with the beginnings of two new stories, tools for developing perspective, and new narrative techniques.
Multiperspectivity: n. a narrative technique by which the writer shows more than one perspective/narrator to the reader in order to complicate, enhance, expand, cross-check, distort, and/or clarify the story.
In this class, we’re tackling the art of integrating and intertwining multiple perspectives in our stories! We’ll read and discuss pieces that demonstrate multiperspectivity, including b.e.stack's "lika is still waiting (and we are still watching)". We’ll specifically analyze: what multiple perspectives do for a story (and why we can’t achieve the same effect with only one perspective); and how to craft and and knit perspectives together.
