A lecture from the Writer's Tools series. Topics covered: • The iceberg principle: why seven-eighths of the meaning remains submerged, and how to know what you are deliberately hiding versus what you simply forgot to write • Detail instead of explanation: how a single object conveys more than a paragraph describing feelings • Context as co-author: how era, culture, genre, and other texts work for your story even when unmentioned • The reader as co-author: leaving breathing room in the text for the reader to project their own meaning Speaker: Dmitry Retikh, playwright, screenwriter, prose writer, and theater educator. Payment in cash at the entrance. Registration: via the link in the organizer's Instagram profile. Pets are welcome.
