Storytelling

Anyone who has taken one of my upper-level classes should understand that "Story" is something that exists everywhere, in ways we may not consciously recognize. As writers, it's our job to understand and consciously manipulate all kinds of stories. With that in mind, I think you may be interested in attending this event sponsored by the D&M Program:

Please join us on May 4th for our 2010 Distinguished Speaker event & Senior Business Plan Exhibit.

Our 2010 Distinguished Speakers are James Tichenor and Joshua Walton of The Rockwell Group LAB. The LAB, located in New York City, focuses on the creation of narratives that give people deeper and more valuable Retail, Entertainment and Product experiences. Projects range from exhibits, retail stores, restaurants, hotels and theaters combining high-end video technology, handmade objects, special effects and custom fixtures and furniture.

There will be a reception celebrating our graduating class immediately following.

Keeping Current

Things are relatively quiet right now... Which usually means I'm forgetting something.

For those of you who completed workshop over the past year, I just wanted to mention that you should keep working on that next draft of your script. Start mapping out a plan for getting that script to a "showable" state, so you can send it to agents/managers/producers and consider entering it into contests.

Also, while I forced many of you to start blogs for your projects, many of you dropped the blog like a hot potato the moment your term ended. Bear in mind the old axiom: writers write. So ask yourself, what have I written lately?
