Every night, we sleep and dream amazing stories, populated with beautifully crafted characters, all perfectly modeled, animated, lit, and rendered, and speaking dialogue that could have been written by a pro. And every morning, we wake and convince ourselves that we don't have the skills to do this.
Join veteran storyteller and artist Iain McCaig as he shows you how to tap into your dream-mind while wide awake, enticing your nighttime storyteller to grab a pencil and dream on paper. All participants will leave with the bones of their own original story, and the tools they need to bring it to life. Previous drawing or storytelling skills are NOT required.
