Body Language

Description: If a picture’s worth a thousand words, imagine the value of a gesture.

This course goes beyond the impact of straight dialogue by exploring the elusive art of communication that happens “in the body.”

Learn how to script your characters’ conversations with body language that will make their exchanges—and your material—more “true-to-life” in the process.

Who Should Attend: This class is open to writers at all levels and with all levels of experience.
