Dive into the energy and humanity of the streets of London as seen through the eyes of master storyteller, Charles Dickens.

Well known for “A Christmas Carol,” Dickens mixes Melodrama, Romance, Comedy and Action into beautiful narratives. His character names like, Uriah Heep, Mr. Turveydrop, Lady Deadlock, Augustus Snodgrass, Sir Mulberry Hawk, Steerforth and Smike pack a whole person into a few words.

We’ll practice description and group narration, build stories using my "Protagonist, Punisher, Protector and Eccentrics" model and create a kaleidoscope of tricksters, villains, urchins, clowns, lovers and lawyers. A passionate advocate for social justice, Dickens invites improvisation with a strong moral point of view. This class will use the Royal Shakespeare Company's production of Nicholas Nickleby as a guide to exuberant, theatrical storytelling.
