Spotlight: In this five-week workshop we'll focus on creating and exploring characters. You will see how a character can be created through personal experience, prompts from others, or even from making mistakes. When it comes to inventing a strong character, there is no one way to approach it. So feel free to explore and learn! The class will have different exercises and games to help you discover new ways to approach making a character for a scene.
