24-3705 Autobiography and Memoir

Memoir and Autobiography is designed to help the student unlock his or her authentic voice. We will do this through autobiographical writing and in-class exercises. Although we will work in nonfiction this process is designed as a starting point–a way to generate unique material that can be transformed into either autobiographical or fictional scripts and films. It is a way to begin, a process by which the student will discover personal themes as well as his or her idiosyncratic style. After generating several stories the student will choose one or more which he or she will develop, edit, and transform into a script for a final presentation.
