Pimp your long form or: How to create organized chaos
Level: Advanced
Instructor: Mark Jane from Paris/France
The workshop will be taught in English
Duration: 12 hours
Does your long form sometimes feel a bit flat? Do you struggle to get a truly satisfying story? Do you want to mess things up a bit? Then this workshop is for you. It provides tools for building better stories in narrative long form while still allowing for surprises. After the workshop, the students' toolboxes will be stocked up with techniques that ensure story and structure and with methods to vary the staging and pace of the show.
Keep your long form show alive by celebrating organized chaos where the story is the driving factor – and where a healthy dose of accidents, surprises and unexpected fun keeps creativity flowing.
