No writing experience is necessary. In this workshop, you will write, you'll be guided and supported by a true professional in the field. But don't worry, he's also a super nice and patient guy!

 

How do you design a character arc, a believable change from beginning to end, instead of just hoping one appears? How do you write a goal so clear it pulls a story forward? It's time to combine creative and logical thinking.

 

In this focused Broadway-style workshop, Noah will guide you through one specific and powerful skill: building a character’s goal and shaping the arc of change around it. This isn’t about “being talented.” It’s about learning a craft. Drawing on the wisdom of Stuart Spencer, one of the foremost teachers of playwriting, Noah will simplify professional techniques so anyone can understand how goals create momentum and how arcs create meaning.

 

Rather than covering everything superficially, this session goes deep into this one essential element of storytelling. You’ll create a character, define what they want, and design how that want transforms them — step by step. Along the way, you’ll see how this process sharpens both creative imagination and logical structure at the same time. Noah, a drama professor and lifelong theatre practitioner, will offer clear guidance, thoughtful feedback, and real insight from the world of professional playwriting. If you’ve ever wanted to learn how the greats build change into a story — and try it yourself under expert guidance — this is a rare chance to do exactly that.

 

不需要任何写作经验。在这场工作坊里，你会真正动笔写，而且会得到一位专业人士的引导和支持。放心，他也很耐心、很好相处。

 

怎样设计一个角色弧线，让角色从开头到结尾的变化真实可信，而不是靠运气碰出来？怎样写出一个清晰到能推动整部故事前进的目标？是时候把创意和逻辑放在一起用了。

 

在这场偏 Broadway 风格的聚焦型工作坊里，Noah 会带大家专攻一个核心技能：为角色建立目标，并围绕这个目标设计变化的轨迹。这不是拼天赋，而是学习方法。借鉴剧作导师 Stuart Spencer 的理念，Noah 会把专业技巧讲得足够清楚，让大家都能理解目标如何制造推动力，弧线如何赋予故事意义。

 

这场活动不会浅尝辄止，而是围绕这个关键元素深入下去。你会创造一个角色，明确他想要什么，然后一步步设计这个“想要”如何改变他。在这个过程中，你会发现创意想象力和逻辑结构可以同时被锻炼。作为戏剧教授和长期从事剧场创作的人，Noah 会提供清晰的指导、认真的反馈和真实的行业经验。如果你一直想知道优秀创作者是怎么把“变化”写进故事里的，并亲自试一次，这正是一个可以认真体验的机会。
