课程名称：写关于我们的故事 课程概述：在这个课程中，创意非虚构作家将探索传统的讲故事方法，尤其是与小说和回忆录交叉的那些方法。通过研究来自多个领域的范例，包括电影、歌曲、绘画，甚至《大白鲨》的主题曲，我们将练习将自己视为角色并将我们经历的故事化的创意能力。我们将专注于一些关键要素，如如何开始一个故事、什么内容值得记录、细节的必要性、对话的强弱与限制，以及空白空间的力量。最终目标是让我们在写作时意识到“受众”，使我们的生活记录更像是精心编排的“表演”，而不仅仅是私人日记的记录。 课程大纲： 1. 什么可以从小说中学到？ - 在这一周，我们将学习可以借用的小说技巧，以及如何将这些技巧叠加到我们个人的故事上。 2. 像电影制作人一样训练你的眼睛 - 在这一周，我们将学习如何通过准确地观察我们写在页面上的内容（以及未写的内容）来创造强有力的场景和生动的细节。 3. 故事的开头 - 在这一周，我们将通过研究各种开头的有效性，学习如何开篇和框定一个故事。 4. 对话的乐趣与陷阱 - 在这一周，我们将学习何时及何地使用对话，以及什么样的对话片段最具吸引力。 这个课程将帮助学员更加深刻地理解如何将个人经历转化为引人入胜的叙事，并在写作中培养对听众的意识。

Name:The Joys and Pitfalls of Dialogue
Description:In this week, we’ll learn when and where to use dialogue, and what makes for the best soundbites.
In this course, creative nonfiction writers will explore traditional storytelling methods, especially those which overlap between fiction and memoir. By looking at examples from a wide range of genres, including film, song, painting—even the theme music for Jaws!—we’ll practice exercising the creative muscle that sees ourselves as characters and the experiences we’ve had as tales. We’ll focus on critical elements, like how to begin a story, what makes for worthy content, the essential use of detail, the strengths and limits of dialogue, the power of the white space. The ultimate goal is for us to become aware of an “audience” when we write, so that the documentation of our lives will begin to resemble a “performance” crafted onto paper rather than a private entry in a journal.
