One Day Workshop Are you feeling lost with screenplay structure but don't like the paint by number algorithms handed to the masses by the screenwriting books? Would you like to discover ways of approaching structure that allow your character and story to be as unique as you are while still meeting the requirements of the industry? Would you like to feel structure as an extension of yourself and your voice rather than an external attachment? Would you prefer to grow story from the inside out rather than construct it from the outside in like everyone else? If you answered yes to any of these questions you’d be a great addition to our one-day workshop! Learn More SCREENWRITING CRAFT: The Ultimate Toolbox

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. Or maybe you just might want to do some preventative care, knowing that the road will be hard ahead, so you want to give yourself the best chance of making it through the tough times. 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. Your 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.”
