Workshop
Author Sally Bayley and Animator Suzie Hanna will teach you to use a uniquely designed method for development of plot and storyline for creating an original micro drama. They will show you how to arrange your story around a threshold space in order to produce a moment of dramatic change; this process will enable you to create a rapidly compressed plot summary. The aim is to enable your story to arrive through one dramatic moment carried across a threshold.
