All the Life that Surrounds Us: Inviting the Natural World into your Work with Talia Lakshmi Kolluri
Saturday, March 18th
11 AM – 2 PM PST/ 2 PM – 5 PM EST
Online

In a world full of technology that separates us from the natural environment, how do we incorporate the vibrancy and variety of the natural world into our creative work? Is it important for the environment to be as richly rendered as our characters, and how do we accomplish this?

Using multi-genre excerpts, this generative workshop will explore techniques oriented towards breathing dynamic and complex life into natural settings, non-human characters, and journeys through the wild world. Students will leave with concrete tools they can use to immerse their characters, their subjects, and their readers in all the life that surrounds us.
