COURSE Action Scenes
Action scenes are some of the hardest things to write. It’s difficult to keep track of all the players, explain what is happening, keep the tension high, and maintain that heart stopping drama. In this class we will not only write action scenes, we will live them. From stalking games, to choreographing large multi-player scenes, to physically bringing it all to life, young writers will take a hands on approach to creating and writing action.
