Creative Characters: Writing Workshop
This writing workshop will use Kwame Mbalia’s story Tristan Strong Punches a Hole In The Sky as inspiration for some character creation. Mbalia’s book is full of memorable characters: from West African gods and African American folk heroes to the central character himself: Tristan, who discovers that he has fantastic powers too. Together we will create our own mythical characters, using collage and some tried and true techniques by Telling Room teachers. These characters can then be used to develop a story, a tale, a game…wherever your imagination takes you!
