What do you do when the well-used Western narrative structures don’t quite fit your premise? Have you ever read or watched an Asian narrative and wondered why it feels unpredictable yet satisfying? Want a glimpse at the bones that made Ryan Coogler’s film,
Sinners so powerful? Join Geneve Flynn and L. E. Daniels to explore Eastern and Western storytelling conventions across structure, character focus, and narrative goals, and expand your writing toolbox. Learning outcomes include recognizing the growth of Eastern narratives in Western spaces, understanding the differences between Eastern/Western narratives, and learning Kishontenketsu: the four-act structure, the three-act structure, and the heroine’s and hero’s journey.
This is a separately ticketed workshop. For more information on Horror University and registration information see: https://www.stokercon.com/horror-university
