TURN A PERSONALITY TRAIT INTO A FAIRYTALE

MONDAY, AUGUST 4TH @ 6–7:30pm MT via Zoom

Your inner goblin called. It wants a fairytale.

What if your best friend's perfectionism had a sword?

Have you ever felt like your anxiety is a wolf in a bonnet? Or your confidence is a glittering sorcerer?

What would your inner critic look like as a fairytale character?

The characters that populate fairytales are exaggerations of human personality traits, positive or negative. A selfish father lures his children into the woods. An innocent young woman seeks happiness. A stepmother is obsessed with vanity. We'll write to prompts and guidance to create a new fairytale character based on a personality trait (ours or someone else's) and put them in a scene.

This fun workshop offers the satisfying witch's alchemy of changing a trait you are familiar with (proud of or irritated by) into a fresh way of seeing something. Come away with a sense of the play and power of a fiction exercise.
