HOW DOES IT WORK?

Each of the Labs in this Module have been carefully curated to work together like a lego set - each one building on the tools that were learned in the one before. By the time you have completed this Module, you will walk away with a completely original approach to telling Stories. You now know how to create your own Map. And it will lead to creating YOUR hit!

JOURNEY MODULE FLOW

  • 1. JOURNEY

    How does The Technique™ approach story structure? No two stories are alike, that is why we don't believe in the standard "Hero's Journey". Learn to make the Story Map that is true to the ride YOU want to take your viewers on.

  • 2. WRITE YOUR JOURNEY

    Now that you know how to make your Map, take it one step further and chart the entire 5 Point Journey of your Story. Guided writings and embodied exercises, will break you free for the analytical, and show you that complex storylines can be mapped in a way that is clear, impactful, and 100% original.

  • 3. RELATIONSHIP TRACKING

    Take a pit stop to deep dive into tracking the Relationships in your story. This one-day Lab will bring clarity to each characters journey and how they all interconnect.

  • 4. WRITE YOUR SCENE

    Here Joan uses Lecture, Guided Writings, and Scene Work to explore how to create a “scene snapshot”. These snapshots are then used to both see, and explore the functionality of a scene.
