2021.W9.E1 Action: Final assignment

15 minutes

The time has come! It's the last assignment of the course.

Today's exercises:

Continuous writing, in reflection on your life, thoughts, and feelings at the moment

5 minutes

Make a narrative audio work of 6-12 minutes’ length which includes elements of:

your real, daily life and/or artistic practice

a parallel, fictional world of your choosing

The role of this exercise is to enact the learnings of this course – the process of world-building and narrative writing – in one concise audio work.

The audio work can be real and/or fictionalised. It can use autobiography, fiction, found sounds, your own foley – whatever helps you to take the listener on a journey between two worlds. It should carefully consider the emotional journey you wish for a listener to go through, using principles of ‘framing’ we have discussed throughout this podcast.
