Experiences of contestants:

 

‘Super insightful to look at a character and the story around them in this way. Makes a character into them much more than ‘something you need in order to tell the story’: the story is now going to support the character's development and show her/his every corner of her/his inner room!’

 

'In August 2024, I participated in the workshop ‘The Character as Building Block’. It were two incredibly instructive and enjoyable days, during which, thanks to Kennard's personal guidance, I was given the necessary theory and tools to create a character. Since then, I have been thinking about and developing characters almost every day, which the workshop made a lot easier and more insightful. This workshop is highly recommended if you want to create a character to take your story to the next level!'

 

'Besides writers, this workshop is also interesting and instructive for actors and directors. You learn how to build a character and how to play with it. It gives depth in your story, depth in your directorial vision and for actors in their acting. I now understand even better why certain TV series or films are so good.'
