Details: Learn an innovative solution to confusing characters and their motivations in this full-day workshop with Leah Velez.
How do you create characters and build believable worlds based on real-life motivations?
Perhaps you’ve tried filling out lengthy character questionnaires. Or created speech patterns, gaits, or other mannerisms to differentiate one character from another. But you get mired in the details and the results feel stilted or overdone or off somehow.
Your worlds, and the characters who inhabit them, need to be grounded in real-life motivation–not just wants, but deeper needs. These deeper-seated values cause naturally arising reactions to stress and growth, in a way that feels organic and believable.
Using an innovative approach, author and teacher Leah Velez, will teach you how to uncover your characters’ motivations, core wounds, and communication preferences. A combination of the enneagram and roleplaying character matrix, Leah has created a tool to help you understand how worlds, and people, work in life–and in story.
