PLOT IS A FULL-ON, CRAFT INTENSIVE WORKSHOP DESIGNED TO TAKE YOUR SCREENPLAY TO THE NEXT LEVEL.
It reveals the core storytelling tool essential to
The Technique™: PLOT Points.
Slow down and go deep with PLOT itself, learn exactly what PLOT is, and how to structure your story in a clear, compelling way that lands not just in the mind, but in the heart.
Come learn how to clarify your story structure and put your PLOT on the page (write it), in the performance (block it), and on the screen (shoot it)!
Throughout this Self-Guided Lab, you will learn:
Structure is action. Plot is a roller coaster ride through a Truth. Learn how to:
- Use action to build a PLOT that is gettable and visceral
- Create PLOT using actions that earn MEANING, not conflict
- Spot and avoid the common sand traps that erode PLOT
PLOT or not. Embody PLOT Points. Learn how to:
- Deliver PLOT Points in your writing, acting, and directing
- Use tools and exercises to get the PLOT out of your head and onto the screen
- Create PLOT through multiple relationships, not just the binary of antagonist, and protagonist
Land your PLOT Points. Take the ride. Once you’ve got the basics of PLOT points, action, relationship and meaning, put it all together. Learn how to:
- Keep the story moving forward, so it doesn’t flatline, repeat or fall apart
- Know when you’ve actually got a PLOT that WORKS
- Connect to your audiences through action surprise, feeling, and truth
These fundamental skills are central to Joan's work on hits like Transparent, Little Miss Sunshine, Beginners, and Whale Rider, and many more. Now you can experience The Technique™ and profoundly connect to the feeling, emotional depth, and rhythm of your story.
