Register for WORLDBUILDING - SPRING 2021
ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP: In this workshop, we’re building new worlds, brick by brick. You’ll be the mastermind of your imagined world’s past, present and future, setting up the foundation of your story. Since this fantastical new landscape will play a major role in your storyline, we’ll start by drawing detailed maps, giving it features like water, mountains, borders and weather.
Then we’ll go even further, using Tristan Strong Punches a Hole in the Sky as our inspiration. You’ll invent inhabitants for your world, giving them robust backstories through letter-writing, journals and social media. Maybe you’ll put robots in charge, or create a secret language only spoken in your world!
You are the keeper of this world, and what you say goes — all you have to do is register!
ACERCA ESTE TALLER: En este taller, vamos a construir nuevos mundos, ladrillo a ladrillo. Serás la mente maestra del pasado, presente y futuro de tu mundo imaginado, sentando las bases de tu historia. Dado que este nuevo paisaje fantástico jugará un papel importante en su historia, comenzaremos dibujando mapas detallados, dándole características como agua, montañas, fronteras y clima.
Luego iremos aún más lejos, usando Tristan Strong Punches a Hole in the Sky como nuestra inspiración. Inventarás habitantes para tu mundo, dándoles historias de fondo sólidas a través de la escritura de cartas, diarios y redes sociales. ¡Quizás pondrás a los robots a cargo o crearás un idioma secreto que solo se habla en tu mundo!
Eres el guardián de este mundo, y lo que dices es válido — ¡todo lo que tienes que hacer es registrarte!
