ReIssue FreeSchool 05: Boring Comics: Writing & Drawing Stories In-Between

ReIssue

Explore the range of rigid, radical, and reflexive storytelling methods used in alternative comics with artist Annie Canto!

Artist Annie Canto will lead this FreeSchool exploring the range of rigid, radical, and reflexive storytelling methods showcased in alternative comics. Participants will explore the transversive and inclusive potential of comics as a medium and develop skills in storytelling propelled by dialogue in order to see the potential of a single loaded panel. With daily writing prompts that encourage a deeper look into the everyday, the class will emphasize the possibilities of building worlds through serialised scenes. With a series of connected prompts, participants will wander imaginary or autobiographical universes through character development, dialogue, scene creation, and free writing.This Zoom session will be recorded for ReIssue&#x27;s archive, and may be made public, but participants can opt out of being included in the final documentation.
