Dramatic Structure for Storytellers
with Brian McAuley
From ancient folklore to the modern television series, a good story well-told has the power to captivate the hearts and imaginations of any audience. But how does a storyteller plot a compelling narrative from start to finish? In this interactive lecture, produced screenwriter, published novelist, and ASU professor Brian McAuley shares the lessons and tools that have served him as a professional writer across every medium and genre. By analyzing feature-length film structures, television season arcs and dramatic scene dynamics, you’ll walk away with the critical and creative skillset to tackle any tale.
