During this two-hour generative workshop, participants will discover how randomness can beget fantastic ideas, and that we all have a natural story structure that we can work within. Meditative freewriters and accompanied by a guided rewrite, where participants are at the whim of a Barketrannouncing changes to the narrative's direction from Event Cards. These announcements can be interpreted anyway the writer wishes. Will the card announcing "A fog lifts" be a literal fog in your work? Will "Hair found in a puddle" be a serious plot point to consider or just a line a character says? Whatever will you make of "Loose twine on sale"? The choices are yours to make in this quietly maddening session of improv writing!
