October 13: INNER LIVES, DEVELOPING CHARACTERS is Regina McBride’s monthly writing workshop in Park Slope. 10 am until 5 pm. To register: nightsea21(at)nyc.rr(dot)com.
Using relaxation, sense memory, and emotional memory (Stanislavski
acting techniques transformed for the writer) a variety of exercises
will be offered to enable the student to find a deeper, richer
connection to the character he or she is creating.
Exercises will be followed by writing periods, and opportunities for
people to read and share their work. The atmosphere will be safe, with
the focus on exploration. The class is designed to help the student
break into new territory with the character, and with the story itself.
