Performance essays are all the rage. In this five-week class, you'll do fun, improvised storytelling drills, learn about the structure and genres of performance essays, and explore ways to use your essays to boost your writing career. Brian will show you how to transform relationships gone bad, family feuds, adventures, and life's minutia into two riveting five-minute pieces that are the perfect mix of vulnerability and comedic vavoom. He'll even teach you how to expose your narrator's flaws while also persuading the audience to root for you. By the end of the class, you'll have written two polished essays be ready to submit them to storytelling shows in LA like Taboo Tales and Sit n Spin. You'll get targeted feedback on your drafts to help you polish up your diddies for submission, and you'll read one of them at a show at Writing Pad!
