Week 5 Episode 3: Final exercises

Parallel Worlds

This is the last exercise episode of this season!

Exercises

• Continuous writing, in reflection on your life, thoughts, and feelings at the moment (5 mins)
• Make a narrative audio work of 6-12 minutes’ length which includes elements of your real, daily life and/or artistic practice, and a parallel, fictional world of your choosing. The role of this exercise is to enact the learnings of this course – the process of world-building and narrative writing – in one concise audio work. The audio work can be real and/or fictionalised. It can use autobiography, fiction, found sounds, your own foley – whatever helps you to take the listener on a journey between two worlds. It should carefully consider the emotional journey you wish for a listener to go through, using principles of ‘framing’ we have discussed throughout this podcast.
