In this interactive Craft Talk, Molly Moylan Brown, a Berlin-based creative writing teacher and theatre director, will explore the role of power dynamics in storytelling and the ways it can be applied to strengthen your creative writing. First, you’ll deconstruct a short work of literary fiction to learn about characters’ shifting status in relation to space, objects, actions, and other characters. Next, you’ll see how this writerly tool provides essential tension and dynamism to an unfolding story. Last, you’ll try your hand at putting this important writing tool to immediate use with writing exercises. Molly will be happy to offer feedback on pieces students choose to share. It will be a packed, transformative ninety minutes. $25 or FREE for Members. (You’ll be auto-registered for all events when you join Paragraph.)
