The Hero's Journey: a scriptwriting workshop with Karel Segers - 13 Jul 2008
George Lucas transformed mainstream filmmaking by applying Joseph Campbell's theory of the Hero with the Thousand Faces to the movies. Today, an increasing number of successful films are loyal to the mythical structure of storytelling for the screen. It has become virtually impossible to build a career in screenwriting without a basic understanding of this popular theory.
Using examples from STAR WARS to THE LIVES OF OTHERS, this workshop shows how the twelve stages of the Hero's Journey are present in all great films of the past thirty years.
This workshop doesn't just present an academic analysis of the mythical elements in movies. It shows you how the Hero's Journey can enrich the traditional Three-Act Structure and empower the screenwriter using the tools that made storytellers great and their tales immortal.
13 July from 10-5pm (with a break for lunch)
Cost: $90 members of ACT Writers Centre, AWG and ACT Filmmakers Network
$72 concessions
$140 non-members.
Bookings essential on 6262 9191 or on-line at www.actwriters.org.au/workshops.html
