At each practical task I was able to implement the theory discussed and see a clearer narrative journey for my protagonist on a serial that I have in development. I'm energised to continue working on my project with a fresh approach and method.

Before this I was struggling to find the theme in my story and felt like I didn’t know what I wanted to say. Working with this process was clear and concise and now I feel like I’m in a stronger position!

Testimonials
Whilst I work with stories on a daily basis in continuing drama, I always strive to find new and fresh ways to create, analyse and deconstruct narratives. Billy condensed the basics of philosophical storytelling into an efficient two hour workshop, using contemporary examples and allowing us to explore the theory with practical tasks using our own original work and creativity. At each practical task I was able to implement the theory discussed and see a clearer narrative journey for my protagonist on a serial that I have in development. I'm energised to continue working on my project with a fresh approach and method.
