The "Impact Storytelling" course is a dynamic and intensive summer program designed to equip learners with the skills and techniques necessary to craft compelling short plays for the stage. Over the course of the week, participants will immerse themselves in the art of storytelling, exploring the nuances of dramatic structure, character development, and dialogue while focusing on creating impactful narratives that resonate with audiences. The course will end with a reading of participants’ short plays.
