January 28 & 29 Memoirs with Sharon Butala
In this intensive workshop participants will explore the memoir form, its meaning and approaches to it. Through lecture, discussion and some exercises participants will learn about the elements of the memoir; the importance of voice and how to create one, about possible structures, tension and the narrative arc, themes, symbols; how to decide what to put in and what to leave out, as well as the inevitable betrayal and self-incrimination. Examples of important memoirs will be used.
