Writing the Future: a high school workshop w/Natanya Biskar
- The Cabin 801 South Capitol Boulevard Boise, ID, 83702 United States (map)
This Workshop is for Grades 9-12
What will the future bring?
Flying cars, re-animated ghosts, or hyper- intelligent squirrels determined to take over the world? Robot nannies, Venus colonies, or a talking parrot who has become a philosopher on the subject of climate change? The good news: in fiction, the future can be all of the above! Through writing exercises, readings, and interactive games, we will explore speculative fiction and all of its weird and glorious possibilities. You will learn and practice the elements of craft—character, plot, detail, scene, and more—in order to create an original story of speculative fiction, a story about the future that shines a light on the strangeness of the present.
Tuition: $177or $147 for Cabin Members
Dates: July 26th - 30th from 1 – 4 PM
