What to expect in a session

Each session is shaped around the student(s) and where they are creatively.

I start with a short warm-up using theater games and improv to get ideas moving.

Then we move into writing prompts and begin building stories:

  • structure (beginning, middle, end)

  • character

  • dialogue

  • visual storytelling

As the work develops, I introduce screenwriting tools in a clear, practical way.

Students can come in with an idea or discover one as we go. Students can collaborate on a story together or work on their own projects and learn from each other.

This isn’t a lecture or a traditional class. It’s a hands-on process that leads to a script your child creates.
