WORLD BUILDING

SATURDAY SCHOOL - FULL DAY WORKSHOP

A shark swims through the beachside waters of a summer resort, searching for its next victim. A little boy finds a magical book whose pages transport him to a world where a flying dragon dog is his best friend and a dark force is slowly destroying everything in sight. A night security guard at a museum discovers when the lights go out at closing time, the displays come alive.

The craft of building the world of your story is one of the most freeing stages of story development, because the world literally is your oyster. You get to decide if people can shape shift in your world. Or if animals can talk. But here's the trick: the rules you make up for your world have to be consistent for it to make sense.

Audiences are willing to go on any ride with you as a storyteller as long as it makes logical sense with the world you've created and its rules. The minute the suspension of belief is broken with your audience, you've lost them forever.

This workshop will help you learn the tools to build a compelling story world that your audiences can lose themselves in and never want to leave.

Led by renowned Head Writer, Showunner and Executive Producer, Busisiwe Ntintili.
