HisGirlFriday-WriterSunday, November 16, 2014 * 14:00-16:30
The Munich Readery, Augustenstraße 104, 80798 München

Femme fatales, gumshoe detectives, star-crossed lovers, wicked stepmothers, wise fools, empathetic anti-heroes: dynamic and archetypal characters can be key to making a good story or lyrical piece tick and pulling in the reader deeper into your creative work. In this revision workshop, we’ll pick up where our Character Development workshop left off, and will focus on putting dynamic and archetypal characters in action. During workshop, we will review and revise the writing begun for the Character Development and Playing with Persona Workshop.  Participants are also welcomed to bring in the character sketches, stories, poems, and performance pieces they are currently working on which utilize dynamic and archetypal characters.  Workshop fee: €25.  To register, send an email and writing to review (1000 words or less) to store@themunichreadery.com by November 12.

CharacterDevelopmentSunday, October 12, 2014 * 14:00-16:30
The Munich Readery, Augustenstraße 104, 80798 München

Femme fatales, gumshoe detectives, star-crossed lovers, wicked stepmothers, wise fools, empathetic anti-heroes: dynamic and archetypal characters can be key to making a good story or lyrical piece tick and pulling in the reader deeper into your creative work. In this workshop, we will discuss how dynamic and archetypal characters can help structure stories, propel narratives forwards, and how they can provide interesting ethical dilemmas and emotional spectrums to narratives and verse. We will learn about the building blocks of creating strong, unforgettable characters, and learn how playing with persona can help liberate nonfictional stories and lyrical poems. So if you’re currently working on a short story, novel, screenplay, theatre play, lyrical essay, memoir, or poem which has a strong and unique character at is heart, come stop by the Munich Readery on Sunday October 12 for our next creative writing workshop led by Rita Banerjee. Workshop fee: €25. To register, send an email to store@themunichreadery.com by October 8.
