Events and Workshops
It is important to have dialogues in a story. It is important to consider every aspect of dialogue, not only what people say, how much they say and to whom they say it. Some people encourage conversation while some block it, and the latter is a great way to cause conflict in your script. You can build up tension through clash of personalities as well as through action. In this session we will work towards creating realistic dialogues that add value to a story.
This workshop is for students in the age group of 10 to 14 years who want to try their hands at story writing.
