Istwa yo prezante nan Lip Service—ekspozisyon Miami pou istwa vre yo prezante byen fò—yo pèsonèl, ki soti nan kè, e onèt. Kou senk semèn sa a, prezante pa ko-prodiktè Lip Service Esther Martinez-Kenniff ak Nicholas Garnett, pral montre w kijan pou idantifye, kreye, ak prezante istwa pèsonèl ki gen sans.

W ap aprann:

1. Kisa ki kalifye kòm yon istwa.
2. Kijan pou w idantifye ki nan istwa pèsonèl ou yo ki gen sa yo bezwen pou yo tounen yon gwo istwa.
3. Kijan pou estriktire yon istwa pou klè ak enpak emosyonèl.
4. Diferans ak resanblans ant ekri pou paj la ak pou sèn nan.
5. Editing and performance techniques that immerse and engage an audience.

Chak elèv ap gen opòtinite pou prezante yon istwa final ki revize devan kamarad klas li yo ak enstriktè li yo. Patisipan yo ap resevwa fidbak ki gen anpil valè nan chak etap pwosesis la, depi nan kòmansman istwa a jiska prezantasyon final la.

Instructions for Students: Please come to the first class with an idea for a story you’d like to work on during the course. If you some ideas to get you going, consider the following prompts:

1. Write about an experience where your cravings had consequences
2. Tell us where it hurts
3. Write about the day everything changed
4. What would you do over if you could?
5. I shouldn’t have done it, but I did
