Ever wonder what it would be like if your favorite comic book came to life? In this dynamic course, students will use their imagination, storytelling skills, and artistic ability to create their own original comic stories and then bring them to life on stage! We will start by learning the basics of comic book creation—from drawing dynamic speech bubbles to mastering the art of narrative flow across panels. Once we’ve crafted our comics, it’s time to transform our drawings into living, breathing stories! Students will learn basic acting, staging, and performance techniques to transform their illustrated stories into works of live theater. Each comic creator will have the opportunity to direct their own story, guiding their peers as they bring characters and scenes to life. Get ready to take your stories from brain to page to stage!
