Those who attended our last Workshop Weekend will know how much fun it is to create a comedy character.
Well, those of you who think you have a great character to create will be happy to learn that back by popular demand Wildseed Studios is bringing the formidable Laurie Hutzler and her unique ‘Character-Mapping Writing Workshop’ to London on Saturday 21st June at the Conway Hall.
This workshop will enable you to create a visual map for your fictional character’s emotional journey and your script’s dramatic structure. You’ll learn how to chart your character’s internal conflicts and emotional transformation – this process takes you deep inside your character.
Devised by Laurie, the ‘Character Map’ pulls stories from characters rather than forcing them to conform to arbitrary plot points or story structure beats. This unique, interactive workshop will comprise talks, discussion, presentation, and a constructive analysis by Laurie of selected characters created by participants.
Laurie Hutzler has taught this method to some of the largest international media companies, who use it in everyday story development.
Wildseed Studios see proposals for many projects with detailed descriptions of a ‘world’ or of the plot, but with less attention paid to character, with the result that stories or project proposals often feel a bit out of focus. We believe that great characters are what enable IP to be platform neutral and agile across media. An audience will follow a great character onto any platform they appear on.
So, the better your characters become, the better the submissions Wildseed Studios will see and they will be well on their way in their mission to invest in 50 fearless entertainment projects!
Past workshop participants have said:
“Incredibly insightful analysis of character driven story. Linking personal experience to the characters we are developing. Real nuggets of wisdom that will help us as we scrutinise our own characters and stories.”
“A very inspiring, illuminating, enthralling speaker leaving me with a lot to think about.”
