Description
Creative Writing Workshop: From Character Development to ScenePut two people in a room (or a tent, or a swimming pool) and you’ve got a story. But where do these characters come from and how do we make them real enough to pass muster while at the same time avoiding stereotypes? This master class will be devoted to the creation of plausible, interesting characters who bring with them stories so riveting that all we need to do is sit down and write what they’re telling us. We will also devote time to scene work – how to activate those characters once we’ve created them. Class time will be a mix of discussion and writing exercises. Evan Fallenberg is the author of the novels Light Fell and When We Danced on Water and translator of prominent Israeli authors such as Meir Shalev, Yair Lapid, Batya Gur and many others. His novels and translations have won or been shortlisted for a variety of prizes, including an American Library Association award for fiction and a PEN translation prize. He teaches creative writing and literary translation at Bar-Ilan University of Israel and City University of Hong Kong. (Registration limited)
