TR!CKSTER SYMPOSIUM 2: CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT and the Shaping of Emotion

"Character" is often considered the core of storytelling. In the telling of finite tales we experience characters growing and learning before our eyes, changing world views and making life-altering decisions that resonate with us on a basic human level, while in episodic stories, it's the characters that lay the consistent groundwork to help us explore new situations with a steady anchor. What makes "character" tick is a layering of designed, deliberate choices by a storyteller. Broad acting and charming dialogue are the product of what lies beneath the surface of any character: inner turmoil, unspoken hopes and dreams, and conflict.

Join a cadre of today's top storytellers in this unique 2-hour discussion workshop designed to bolster the craft of creating unique characters from the ground up. Participants will include an array of today's top storytellers in film and comics, to be announced shortly.
