TV/FILM WORKSHOP
5 Week workshop Each week we will workshop an entire TV pilot/pitch bible or half a screenplay. Each writer will get feedback on their script and will learn tools demonstrated in other writers' works. You will leave with a solid plan for rewriting or polishing your script. Feedback from other writers will be curated in a way that helps you move forward without any opinions or egos getting in the way. Not yet ready to workshop but want to learn more about pilot structure, outlining, and writing techniques? Join us as a non-workshop participant. Participate with the readings and feedback without workshopping your own script. This will help prepare you to write your own pilot! And you get to be a part of an awesome tribe of writers. Dates and details CREATIVE HEALTH WORKSHOP
You know you are meant to create but you haven't been creating. Or perhaps you sit down but the process feels empty. Perhaps you haven't picked up your pen, paintbrush, guitar, or ballet slippers in months, days, years. You are suffering but don't know what to do or where to start. If you would like a deep understanding and practice of artistic health you have come to the right place. You are not broken. You are not lazy. You are not doomed. You just don't understand what is happening neurologically. When we break down what is actually happening in your mind when you begin to even think about creating, it becomes much clearer what we need to do to develop a healthy process. Learn More |

“Meditative Writing truly is “assisted self-discovery.” For the same reason writers should take acting classes, Meditative Writing helps you get down into your body, to work a scene or character from the inside out. The practice has applications even beyond writing, into directing, pitching, and just being in the world. This class and subsequent practice has been extremely helpful to me in my work.”
