4.0 units New and globally impactful crises have become the norm in the twentyfirst century. Crises can be described in many ways, including: humani‑ tarian, economic, political, biological, nature-made, man-made, war-inspired, hostage, blockades, defense, etc. In recent years, top global crises include the financial meltdown, ISIS, immigration, Ebola, cyber-attacks, terrorist bombings/murders, hunger and many more. Many now expect more crises with governments and companies spending enormous amounts of money for potential future protections. Predicting crises is beyond our reach, but knowing they will continue—if not ramp-up in frequency and severity—is almost a certainty. Prevent‑ ing, surviving and remediating crises requires preparation in addition to forethought. Leaders of organizations, from city/county governments to global corporations to nations are challenged to provide crisis related leadership. This course outlines leadership strengths that must be developed in order to effectively face and resolve/mitigate crisis issues impacting your organization or community.

Managing Change in Organizations

MGMT X 493.13

Hot Groups and Hierarchies

4.0 units Back in 1975, for a traditional industrial company, the ratio of stock market value (in dollars) to hard assets might run about one-to-one. Near the end of 2015, the equivalent ratio for Facebook, Bidu and many newer companies was in the area of 60, 80 or even 100-to-one. The new economy companies are outperforming traditional companies and even newer companies entering the marketplace at literally the speed of light. Substantial change is more than stock market valua‑ tions and new growth companies challenging traditional market leaders; it is about leadership styles, behaviors and disciplines which push today’s growth companies to higher performance levels. Large, hierarchical, well-ordered organizations are having to make room for small, egalitarian, disordered hot groups. Hot groups may have their origins as teams, task forces, panels, boards and committees but hot groups are “task-obsessed” necessities now for sustaining themselves and growing in this highly competitive, global, diverse and fast-paced “connected” world. This course provides a roadmap for developing, nurturing and achieving significant organizational successes building and leading hot groups. We also study common pitfall in hierarchies with “toxic” leadership that destroyed major U.S. companies, such as Enron, Arthur Anderson, WorldCom, Adelphia Communications, Lehman Brothers, Refco, Fannie Mae, just to name a few. The wellknown international examples include Medici Bank (Italy), Qintex (Australia), Barings Bank (U.K), Bre-X (Canada), HIH Insurance (Aus‑ tralia), Parmalat (Italy), Nortel (Canada), among many others. Toxic leadership examples can also extend to country leaders, Congress‑ men, local city officials and leaders in small organizations with con‑ flicts of interest, personality disorders and behavioral issues. This course includes toxic leadership identification tools and mitigation strategies. Reg# 396336 Fee: $855 No refund after 16 Apr.

2.0 units Today’s consumers are dispersed over thousands of media platforms that are saturated with content and advertising. That’s why marketers are struggling to even generate awareness, least of all sales, on a cost-effective basis. Consequently, many are turning to influencers: individuals who already have large, attentive followings that they can persuade to action. Successful influencer marketing, however, requires more than merely asking social media stars to endorse a product. Without a well-planned strategy based on critical evaluation, market‑ ers risk losing money, time and opportunities; damaging their brands; and even violating federal regulations. In this course, students learn how to research, evaluate and employ the right influencers for their markets and how to legally and strategically integrate them into marketing campaigns that achieve specific goals.

4.0 units For decades, the Lean and Six Sigma methodologies have been help‑ ing organizations meet and exceed customer requirements while becoming more efficient and profitable. Lean and Six Sigma help organizations develop and deliver near-perfect products and services. Lean is a term developed by Toyota that focuses on the relentless pursuit of removing waste from business practices. The term “Sigma” is a statistical term that measures how far a given process deviates from perfection. The central idea behind Six Sigma is that if you can measure how many defects you have in a process, you can systemati‑ cally determine how to eliminate them, getting as close to “zero defects” as possible. This course demonstrates advanced Lean and Six Sigma tools and techniques. Students learn to document enter‑ prise-level processes, identify the steps necessary to implement a Lean Six Sigma system, as well as learn how to teach and mentor in the workplace.

Great Books from the World at Large: Latin America and Africa

5.0 units As David Damrosch reminds us, “Reading a work from a different place and time involves a back-and-forth movement between the familiar and the unfamiliar. A view of the world is always a view from wherever we are, and we inevitably filter what we read through our own experi‑ ence. But if we don’t impose our expectations onto the new work, its distinctive qualities will enlarge our field of vision.” The Latin American works we read—and write about—include stories by Jorge Luis Borges (Argentina), Carlos Fuentes (Mexico) and Gabriel Garcia Marquez (Colombia) about the discovery of the New World, European conquest and the efforts to free Latin America from colonial imposition. The African works we read—and write about—include, in addition to stories by Chinua Achebe (Nigeria), Nadine Gordimer (South Africa) and Nugugiwa Thiong’o (Kenya) that protest colonization, call for indepen‑ dence and celebrate African pride, a play about British presence in West Africa (Death and the King’s Horseman) by Nobel Prize-winner Wole Soyinka.

As America grew in population and prominence, the need for accommodations for travelers spurred the development of the hospitality industry while advancing the popular architectural styles of the time. In this course, we explore the development of the industry through discussion of architectural and interior styles and the unique geographic and cultural influences from various regions throughout the United States. This course will be recorded. Students will have access to the video for 30 days. Reg# 396211 Fee: $15 No refund after enrollment.

Los Angeles after World War II: The Birth of a Modern City

The aftermath of World War II led to a population explosion in Los Angeles. Housing developments sprang up, freeways were built, and rampant traffic congestion eventually led to frequent smog alerts. In this course, we examine the dark side of this tumultuous time—the still-unsolved Black Dahlia murder case and the Cold War fears that forced the Hollywood Ten movie producers, directors and screenwrit‑ ers to appear before the House Un-American Activities Committee as suspected communists. We also look at the bright side of the mid-tolate 1940s—the rise of television entertainment and the flourishing movie industry that produced classics like The Third Man (1949), and Sunset Boulevard (1950), which forever emblazoned the allure and dangers of Hollywood.

Though the silent film era survived for less than 30 years, it introduced film grammar and techniques that influence filmmaking even today. One of the only true American art forms, it told stories through pure emotion that both entertained and moved audiences.

Manifest Destiny: West Expansion and its Consequences

Even though the phrase, Manifest Destiny, was not used in print until 1845, the spirit of American expansionism that it referred to was very apparent long before the 1840s. Prior to 1815, the most advanced industrial technology most Americans had ever seen was a windmill. But all that was about to change and, by 1845 America had begun to look more like an industrialized, developed nation than an agricultural, developing nation. In this course, we track the story of westward expansion from the Revolution up through the 1850s, paying particular attention to the ways in which the West and westward expansion came to be romanticized in the American imagination and how the transportation revolution made that western expansion possible. We focus on the thirty years between 1815 and 1845, which witnessed the greatest transformation in American infrastructure and information technology before the internet. We examine five of the most important new technologies that seeded that change: canals, roads, rails, post offices and the telegraph. Investment and experimentation in those fields helped to facilitate the creation of a single national American economy—an economy capable of challenging European countries for economic supremacy. This course will be recorded. Students will have access to the video for 30 days.

Ellis Island: The Immigrant Experience

It is believed that approximately 40 percent of America’s population can trace their ancestry through Ellis Island. Opened on Jan. 1, 1892, Ellis Island became the nation’s premier federal immigration station. In operation until 1954, the station processed over 12 million immi‑ grants. This course provides an overview of Ellis Island’s physical expansion while also looking at key aspects of the immigration pro‑ cess on the island during its time as an immigration station. We explore primary sources such as architectural drawings, immigration statistics, as well as ship manifests to enhance our understanding of the station’s history, social importance and role in U.S. history.

Acting the Shakespearean Monologue

Some of the most compelling dramatic moments in Shakespeare’s plays are found in his characters’ long speeches, or monologues. Some are spoken to other characters, some directly to the audience, and some (the soliloquies) express a character’s thoughts and feelings in a stream of consciousness talk with themselves. Shakespeare uses this dramatic device throughout all his plays—comedic and tragic— allowing us to see deeply into the minds and hearts of his vividly human characters. In this course, we study, practice and learn how to bring some of Shakespeare’s most powerful monologues to life and act them with the full power and beauty they possess. Open to everyone regardless of prior acting experience. Please bring a mono‑ logue or soliloquy that interests you to the first class.

Expressionism in Art: The Rise of Expressionism as an Artistic Style

Although expressive elements are a common quality of art, it was not until the 19th and early 20th century that they became a main com‑ ponent of artistic output. Among the first artists to express their per‑ sonal feelings through their art was Edvard Munch, who, along with others, would go on to inspire an entire movement of Expressionism throughout Europe in the early 20th century. In this course, we look at the origins and development of Expressionism as a movement, with an emphasis on German Expressionism as reflected in the movements of Die Brücke and Der Blaue Reiter, as well as the Austrian Expression‑ ism of Gustav Klimt, among others.

Abraham Lincoln: Abolition President

American slavery lasted 246 years from 1619 to 1865 and its brutal legacy continues to affect race, civil rights and social inequality today. Lincoln hated the “peculiar institution,” and his moral condemnation of slavery beginning in 1854 transformed him into becoming the aboli‑ tion president in 1861. In this course, we review how and why Lincoln rose to political prominence, won a bloody civil war and abolished human slavery. We explore Lincoln’s essential characteristics that matured into a moral certainty and political sagacity to oppose the expansion of slavery, liberate escaping slaves and abolish slavery. And we see how Lincoln’s generosity of spirit and mind are revealed time and again throughout his political life. This course will be recorded.

American Civil Religion

In 1967, an American sociologist named Robert Bellah published an article claiming that—alongside churches, synagogues, mosques and temples—there also existed “an elaborate and well-institutionalized civil religion in America.” He observed that Americans embrace a common civil religion with certain fundamental beliefs, values, holidays and ritu‑ als in parallel to, or independent of, their chosen religion. Since his time, the term and its study has flourished; American civil religion is today an academic tool in understanding what was and is the United States of America. In this course, we explore the historical roots of American civil religion, beginning with its origins in Europe and its development in the new world. As with any religion, we deal with the religious archetypes and structures—cosmogonic myths, creation myths, proph‑ ets, martyrs, holidays, sacred land, sacred texts and more.

The School of Paris and Art Between the World Wars

Prior to World War I, the art center of Paris moved from Montmartre to Montparnasse. Referred to as the School of Paris to set them apart from the French-born young artists of this period, a group of immigrant painters and sculptors began to dominate the new art scene of Montparnasse in Paris for a couple of decades before World War II. In this course, we explore the works of those artists, including Amedeo Modigliani, Marc Chagall, Chaim Soutine and Jules Pascin. We also discuss how art evolved and changed in the years leading up to World War II.

They use a variety of techniques such as subjectivity, POV shot and internal focalization. And they encompass all sorts of genres, including comedy (Midnight in Paris, 2011), thriller (Psycho, 1960) and drama (Get Out, 2017).

The Second Viennese School

The Second Viennese School refers to a modernist musical movement that introduced radical new concepts to Western music at the turn of the 20th century. This group of composers included Arnold Schoen‑ berg and his pupils, Alban Berg and Anton Webern. All three compos‑ ers would go on to develop techniques in musical composition that included intentional dissonance, atonality and serialism. The avantgarde turn towards dissonance and atonality, while familiar in many settings and venues today, may still be jarring to those listeners who are more accustomed to tonality that is often prevalent in most broadcasts and performances of classical music. In this course, we listen to the music of the Second Viennese School with the goal of finding a greater appreciation for music composed in the 20th century and beyond. As we listen to this music, we search for the paintings and poetry that inspired these composers and hear what the critics and philosophers said about these musical changes. We also explore their compositions within the context of the tumultuous changes and events of the early 20th century. This course will be recorded.

We discuss how the familiar story of the American Revolution—its causes, course and consequences—changes when we think about the American Revolution as part and parcel of a titanic struggle among European empires and peoples for control of a vast, resource-rich new world. In each lecture, we tackle a different group of actors—Germans, Frenchmen, Spaniards, South Asians, Prussians, etc.—and situate their experiences at the center of dramatic narratives about the loss of the British Empire’s thirteen golden geese and the birth of the United States. This course will be recorded. Enrolled students will have access to videos for the duration of the course. Reg# 396567 Fee: $0 No refund after 20 Apr.

Cosmology, Astronomy, and Space Exploration in the News

Due to advances in technology, what we thought we knew about the fundamentals of cosmology, astronomy, and space exploration is evolving almost daily. In this course, we explore the latest concepts, news, and discoveries regarding multiverses, gravitational waves, black holes, neutron stars, exoplanets, and the beginning of our uni‑ verse. We also follow the progress of NASA’s and ESA’s missions to the moon, Mars, and Europa — Jupiter’s ice-covered moon, and more. Reg# 396178 Fee: $135 No refund after 25 Apr.

Discussion Groups

In this virtual course, we look at work created by artists working now. Virtual studio visits introduce contemporary work of individual artists, from whom we learn the interests, passions and circumstances which inform their projects. Recognizing the role of the institution and the role of the artist in the cultural context of our times is an intriguing unfolding of history in the making. Between sessions, recaps are provided to augment contextual readings of the presentations. Discus‑ sion is encouraged as it inspires further observation and awareness. This course will be recorded.

Over 5000 years ago humans began to consume chocolate. Chocolate may conjure up images of candy bars and bon bons, but throughout much of its history, chocolate was a bitter beverage, not a sweet, rich-tasting treat. In this course we explore chocolate’s history, culture and economics from its origins to the present in four world regions where it is grown and/or produced. We also sample chocolates from these regions: Upper Amazon and Mesoamerica, Asia and Pacific islands, Europe and Africa, and the United States and Canada.

Knowing the Score: How Music Makes Movies Come Alive

Since the days of silent film, music has accompanied moving pictures in theaters. Whether it be a single piano or organ, band or orchestra playing on cue, music synchronized to film has been an integral part of the movie experience. With the advent of ‘talkies’ and release of The Jazz Singer in 1927, a soundtrack could combine synchronous dialogue and singing with a musical score — and there was no turning back. Pianos and bands of the silent era have been replaced by film scores featuring every conceivable type of music (symphony orchestras; esoteric; indigenous; all kinds of electronic sounds and pop music). In this course, we explore the art and history of film scoring, movie musicals, animated films, composers and their fabulous film scores, as well as musical influences of classical, jazz and popular music.

Bank Runs and Bailouts: Financial Panics in US History and their Lessons

In this course, we explore the history of financial panics in US History from the early 19th century through the 20th century. Highlights include the Panic of 1837, the Depression of the 1890s, the Great Depression of the 1930s and the era of stagflation of the 1970s as key moments in US history when old economic orthodoxies were put aside and new ones created. Key policy choices such as whether to have a national bank, a federal reserve, a gold standard or large federal deficit all factor in—even as the fundamental roles of citizens, governments, corporations and working families were debated and changed.

Citizen Grant: Ulysses Grant as Civil War General and Reconstruction President

Ulysses S. Grant was one of America’s most interesting and controver‑ sial common-man leaders. In 1865, as commanding general, Grant led the Union Armies to victory over the Confederacy in the American Civil War. He was later elected the 18th President of the United States (1869—1877). In this course, we explore his unexceptional military career up to the civil war, his emergence as President Lincoln’s key military leader, and his emergence as Lincoln’s heir in the White House, as he tried to fulfill on the promise of the reconstruction but ultimately oversaw an age known more for tragedy and corruption.

American Civics 101: A Crash Course

Every person applying for U.S. citizenship needs to know how our U.S. government works. Many Americans tend to take their U.S. Citizenship for granted. Just imagine if the rules changed and you now had to take a government civics test every year to remain a U.S. citizen. In this course, we cover the topics which you would need to know to pass that test. These topics include: the concept of co-equal branches of Government, their functions, responsibilities and current critical issues; the rationales and ramifications of recent Supreme Court decisions on voting, gun control, affirmative action and others; the importance of the U.S. Constitution and its 27 amendments including its Bill of Rights; gerrymandering and its restrictive effect on states voting rights; and issues surrounding the Electoral College, budget reconciliation, the debt ceiling and our national debt. Given the importance of the upcoming 2024 election, being informed as a citizen and how our government works has never been more important.

Let’s Read the Classics, Part 4

In this course, we continue reading well-known authors who focus on the lives of women. We begin with Hawthorne’s American classic, The Scarlet Letter (1850), which illustrates the disturbing contrast between how male and female adulterers are treated. In contrast, the affairs of Flaubert’s Madame Bovary (1857) lead to her own self-destruction. In Chopin’s The Awakening (1899), the female protagonist feels trapped by married life and her lack of autonomy. Wharton’s The Custom of the Country (1913) is a tale of manners in upper crust New York City society and what women will do to achieve status. Our final book, Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale (1985), provides a dystopian view of the future of women. No previous course is required to enjoy this one. Reg# 396441 Fee: $80 No refund after 18 Apr.

The cinema of Italy has given the world great films and has influenced film movements worldwide. The post-World War II Neorealismo period merged cinematic realism with a focus on glaring social problems and postwar poverty, while Fellini’s imitable cinematic style combined surreal carnival with incisive social critique. In this course, we view some of the greatest Italian films from 1945 to 1997, and analyze how they use the verbal, visual, and visceral art form, and what they had to say about the human condition. We watch five films: The Leopard (1963), Malena (2000), The Bicycle Thief (1948), Satyricon (1969) and Amarcord (1973). Reg# 396324 Fee: $80 No refund after 10 Apr.

The concept of American citizenship and civil discourse has evolved since America’s founding. In this course, we investigate the practice and ideal of civic engagement as well as the increasing political polarization in the United States. We consider the nature and limits of American democracy over time, the historical roots of public discourse, and the conflict and compromises inherent in a democracy (and particularly in an election year). We also discuss contemporary and historical case studies, literary depictions, as well as current events emerging from the 2024 primary election season. Reg# 396465 Fee: $80 No refund after 11 Apr.

They Lived in Squares, Painted in Circles and Loved in Triangles: The Bloomsbury Group, Part 1

The title of this course, attributed to the inimitable wit and satirist Dorothy Parker (1893-1967), is a terse, spot-on description of one of the foremost literary-artistic groups/salons/gatherings in western litera‑ ture and art. In this course, we read Amy Licence’s Living in Squares, Loving in Triangles, which introduces us to the brave, passionate, and innovative lives and loves of these remarkable writers, artists and intellectuals (even T. S. Eliot, who popped in occasionally). We also read works by two of the group’s major literary luminaries, Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) and E. M. Forster (1879-1970). Their works include early short stories as well as their masterpiece novels, Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway (1925) and Forster’s A Passage to India (1924). Reg# 396254 Fee: $80 No refund after 10 Apr.

Four Must-Reads for the Serious (or Not-SoSerious) Foodie, Part 3

Silvano Serventi and Françoise Sabban’s Pasta is, among other things, the final word on the debate as to whether China or India invented pasta. Andrew F. Smith’s Eating History explores how historic events, inventions and individuals have defined American cuisine. Examples include the Erie Canal, the shocking reason for inventing the Graham cracker, and Julie Child. Nichola Fletcher’s Charlemagne’s Tablecloth offers stories about fabled historic feasts, notably that of the Holy Roman Emperor who would whip off the tablecloth at the end of a feast and toss it into a blazing fire, and then—to everyone’s amazement—retrieve it intact, cleansed of all manner of food and wine spills.

The Fantastic in Literature, Part 2

A subgenre of literary works called the fantastic creates a hesitation in the reader, who must decide whether what they perceive derives from reality. Fantastic literature, different from fantasy or science fiction, lets us encounter the ordinary and the uncanny, the everyday and the marvelous simultaneously and in ways that mirror and illuminate modern experience. In this course, we read stories by Jorge Luis Borges on dreams and labyrinths; Italo Calvino’s Invisible Cities on the city as fragment and in fragments; stories by Julio Cortazar on the idea of fiction as game and fabrication; Garcia Marquez’s Love in the Time of Cholera as an example of magical realism; and Thomas Pynchon’s Crying of Lot 49 on conspiracies as explanations for the meaning of events. These works define moments of hesitation between belief and disbelief, giving us strangeness as a condition of life. Reg# 396168 Fee: $80 No refund after 15 Apr.

Participants share articles and opinions that pertain to what’s happening both in the United States and internationally, particularly to introduce diverse views. Many of the pundits we analyze write for The New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times. These include such political writers as David Brooks, Thomas Friedman, Paul Krugman, Ross Douthat, Fareed Zakaria, John Bolton, Peggy Noonan, Maureen Dowd and many more that the class may wish to cover. We also examine such magazines as The New Yorker, The Atlantic, The New Republic and other journals that give in-depth coverage of current topics.

Smart Movement Solutions: Finding a Mind Body Balance

The Feldenkrais Method works slowly and systematically to build new patterns of movement. By doing very small and easy but complex movement puzzles, we learn to rewire our nervous systems to align mind with body. In this course, we become experts at knowing how our bodies work—what is possible and easy and what is more difficult or even impossible at the time. We experiment with variations in our movement patterns to build resiliency and expand our repertoire of ways to do the same movements with refinement. The movement strategies we use are small and slow to maximize a way for your brain to learn better habits. This is not a standard exercise class. Anyone can benefit since the emphasis is on learning as we once did as babies—organically. Discover the pleasure of moving painlessly and gracefully. Students must sign a waiver before participation.

Bagua, Tai Chi’s Ancient Cousin for Healing the Body and Balancing the Mind

Bagua is an ancient internal martial art and healing practice that uses circle walking or turning the circle as its characteristic method of stance and movement.

Tai Chi for Anxiety and Better Balance

Tai Chi is well-known for bringing the mind, body and spirit together to improve balance, prevent injury and promote good health. This peaceful martial art helps to clear the mind, reduce stress and enhance flexibility along with promoting overall wellness. The steps are light, and the slow movements are flowing. The postures and movements harmonize with the principles of yin and yang and build an intimate awareness with one’s natural internal and external energy, building a great sense of inner peace. In this course, we introduce a new tai chi posture each week after a one-hour tai chi flow sequence. In the process, we learn how to open the body’s energy pathways and prepare for proper tai chi form training, while focusing on deepening our balance and reducing anxiety.

Defeating Distraction: Creating a Writing Practice

2.0 units Whether you are writing a screenplay, short story, personal essay or not even writing yet at all (but would like to!), the way to create and finish any project is through a consistent and committed writing practice. The regular discipline of writing can feel elusive and at times unattainable, but it can be done! In this course, students learn the fundamentals of creating a lasting writing practice as well as con‑ crete tools to employ as defenses against procrastination and writer’s block. Class time will consist of lectures, in-class writing prompts, and exercises to build craft with homework assignments geared towards setting manageable goals and accountability. Think of it as “Couch to 5K” personal training—but for writing. Rather than focusing on revising or improving a particular writing project, the class focuses solely on committing to the writing practice itself. By the end of the course, students will have the skills to build a sustainable writing practice that they can maintain long after the class is over. All levels of writers are welcome.

Power Up Your Writing: Deeper Characters, Deeper Truths

2.0 units How do writers create work that electrifies readers and stays with them long after they have turned the last page? One key is that they create characters who live on in the readers’ minds; another is that they dig into their own hearts and minds to reveal deeper truths. Whether you’re writing fiction, poetry, memoir or essay, this course helps you to do both. The process of being able to create memorable characters includes building the vivid worlds they live in, and exploring how they reveal who they are—and what they want—through action and speech, as well as through what they own, wear, value and desire. The body as a metaphor for feelings about ourselves and others is explored, and visual arts—painting, sculpture, photography—offer pathways to get at your own truths. In revising your work, you gain tools for going deep into the story to reveal rich, new insights. Suitable for beginners and experienced writers.

Discovering the Writer Within

2.0 units At the heart of who we are as human beings is our ability to create. Unfortunately, modern society does a good job of suppressing this impulse in most people, especially those who don’t consider them‑ selves “artists.” This writers’ workshop is predicated on the belief that we are all artists in one way or another, and that by finding our own creative voice our lives can only be enriched. Through a series of inclass writing exercises, students tap into all five of their senses and draw upon a lifetime of memories as a way to unleash their creativity. The final goal of the workshop is both the celebration of the creative process and a first draft of either a short story, a short play, a collection of poems or some other form of text.

But speculative novels are challenging to write due to their complex settings, their need to orient readers to an entirely unique world and its rules, and the challenge of connecting audiences to characters who might not even be human. This workshop provides both aspiring and experienced writers with genre-specific tools neces‑ sary to plan and begin a sci-fi or fantasy novel. We focus on establish‑ ing a new world and its characters in the first pages of the book, working on both foundational skills like characterization and pacing as well as the worldbuilding skills unique to this genre of fiction.

In this reading and exercise-based class, we explore and practice descriptive writing and its power in establishing setting and mood while enlivening action and supporting symbolic relationships in fiction and creative nonfiction.

Serial Fiction

3.0 units Whether published on a private platform or one of many emerging reading apps, serialized fiction is not only a method to keep engaged readers returning to an author’s content, but is also a fantastic way for authors to publish profitably with a low-cost barrier to entry. In this course, we study serialized fiction, an episodic or bit-by-bit method of storytelling that has been popular for nearly 200 years. You explore both the market opportunities for publishing serialized fiction as well as the craft of developing and executing a series. You explore the critical differences between the structure of novels and a series, develop an original series premise, draft a synopsis/blurb for the series, outline one season/arc of your series and study how to struc‑ ture character beats and arcs. You workshop with peers to analyze worldbuilding, pacing, word count constraints and POVs; and develop a plan to market the series to encourage high reader engagement. This course includes video lectures, reading assignments and writing exercises. Authors produce a series synopsis, brand, and at least three episodes to support a pitch to digital publishers (one of the various reading apps) or self-published on one of the royalties-paying plat‑ forms such as Amazon’s Kindle Vella.

Character and Conflict

3.0 units One of the most misunderstood concepts in the craft of fiction writing is the relationship between character and conflict. A story can involve a complex character with fascinating thoughts, ideas and interests, but without a conflict that motivates the character to act, the ensuing story will be stagnant and flat. In this class, we explore, through our own writing and through published work, how to create richly imag‑ ined characters and how to challenge them with conflicts that threaten their hidden, most deeply held desires, forcing them to act in ways that change the world around them. Each week, we read sample fiction to identify craft tools that help us determine and convey the flaws in our characters, flaws that then help us pick a conflicted situation to push our characters into action. Weekly writing exercises put theory into practice and help you discover what works (and doesn’t) in your own writing practice.

3.0 units For writers with a minimum of 50 pages of a science fiction and fantasy novel-in-progress, this workshop guides them to generate 50 additional pages.

Story Structure for the Novel

3.0 units Many aspiring novelists write with the hope that inspiration will come. The result is time wasted on a flabby novel with no clear shape and a sagging pace. On the other hand, story structure gives your novel a skeleton; it forms the bones of your story. And just as adding flesh and clothing to a body makes that body more unique, so does any creative addition the writer makes to his or her basic structure. This course teaches you how to build that skeleton, from a solid premise line to building the moral argument of your novel. You ensure that your novel has what story structure guru John Truby calls the “seven key steps,” and you learn how reversals and reveals, as well as character wants and needs, can drive your story to a satisfying conclusion. Exercises are worksheets which focus on structural elements such as character ghosts, story world and more. By the end of the course, you have in hand a six-page synopsis that works.

In this workshop, participants undertake two rigorous revisions, sticking with a draft all the way through to its best potential.

Queer Experiments in Memoir

Queer stories not only offer readers the opportunity to see the world from a different perspective, they also give queer people the chance to see themselves in ways they never have before. In this course we will look beyond simply having queer characters or representation in our memoirs, and explore alternatives to traditional literary forms and story shapes that speak more truthfully to our experiences with the ultimate goal of arriving at something intrinsically queer. We’ll look at archives as a first step in making new connections and ultimately a new kind of order. We’ll explore timelines that turn away from the narrative coherence of the traditional life arcs of adulthood, marriage, reproduction and childrearing. We will examine narrative forms that reject conflict as essential. Through a short lecture, analysis of memoir excerpts, and in-class prompts you will get a whirlwind tour of pos‑ sible entry points to a different approach to capturing a life queerly.

Decolonizing Publishing

3.0 units In a time where publishing claims to be pivoting to a more inclusive and heterogenous future, it is essential for the next generation of industry professionals and creatives to not only be aware of, but to actively facilitate these changes now more than ever. This class will focus on challenging the current paradigm of craft, or otherwise the notion of there being one ideal and normative writing craft method, and how we, as writers, editors, agents and readers, can explore the nuances of culture and the mores of craft in non-harmful ways. Stu‑ dents will be encouraged to think critically about the role of Western‑ ized literary dominance and power dynamics in literary spaces by examining different narrative conventions, plot constructs and themes that exist around the world, before eventually writing a deconstructed non-linear story of their own. The goal is to broaden our modern perception of writing craft, primarily in the sci-fi/fantasy genre, by deconstructing the colonial lens in creative writing pedagogy. By the end of this course, you will not only be more aware of the issues of literary imperialism and mindful of projecting innate biases within the industry, but you will have cultivated knowledge of writing craft that extends beyond the paradigm enriched by a multicultural lens.

Comics and Graphic Novels Toolkit

Comics are referred to as “the Ninth Art” in France, and it’s key to understand the medium’s similarities and differences with artforms as deeply as possible. A writer simply handing a screenplay to an art team and asking them to go figure it out, for instance, is almost always a recipe for disaster. A comics script that’s been carefully tailored to the form, however, has far better chance to soar. This course gives you the insight to make the best comic possible.

Formatting Your Script Like a Pro

1.0 units There are two key factors that determine the success of your script when it’s about to be read by a script reader, producer, director, agent or any other Hollywood executive: Does it “look” professional on the page? And is it a great read? Both are affected by the formatting of your script, and it takes more than using screenwriting software to get it right. Screenplay formatting is an industry standard practice that allows a writer to accurately communicate their stories to readers in this collaborative medium. Without adhering to this standard, scripts become indecipherable and distract the reader from the story, char‑ acters and world you are trying to convey. In this course, you learn not only how to properly format scene headings, action lines, characters, dialogue, parentheticals and transitions, but why these are industry standards. Even with screenwriting software, writers still struggle with the intricacies of formatting as it relates to clarity, succinctness and the reader’s emotional experience. You also learn how to spot format‑ ting red flags that prejudge your script as amateurish, and explore advanced techniques that help you direct and edit on the page without the use of camera directions and other technical jargon.

Character-Driven Scenes

2.0 units David Mamet said, “If you’re bored by a scene, so is your audience.” Every scene in a script serves a purpose. When they are character-driven, they keep us emotionally invested and engaged with the story. Individual scenes have a lot of moving pieces, from how they are structured to what they reveal about the external and internal conflicts of the char‑ acters. In this course, we look at the essence of scenes from where they start and end to their three act structure. We examine scenes in movies and TV shows to identify their purpose, what the arc of a scene reveals about character and how it advances the story. Students learn the essential components of a scene and the questions that each scene needs to ask and answer in order to tell compelling stories. By the end of the course, you have 2-3 rewritten or original scenes for your current project and a map to link those scenes into a sequence.

What would it look like if our characters did the same? Now that you have a first draft of your screenplay or TV pilot, this course lets you unshackle your characters from the hard work of delivering your story so you can experience what they’re like “off the clock.” Through a series of writing exercises, you explore how your characters think, feel and behave when confronted with mundane situations we all recognize from everyday life. The premise of this course is that once your characters reveal to you what makes them interesting and dis‑ tinct in situations divorced from the aims of your plot, you then see how to let them express themselves more vividly when it really counts.

Comics and Graphic Novels I

3.0 units From big-budget superheroes to critically acclaimed dramas, many of pop culture’s most entertaining stories originated from comic books and graphic novels. Through their unique marriage of words and pictures, comics can be a magical yet accessible form of expression. This workshop provides a comprehensive introduction to the craft of writing and creating comics. Instruction begins by focusing on visual theory and critical thinking about sequential storytelling. Students study the form and its influences, then experience a classroom version of the editorial process by taking a story of their own from pitch to outline to completed script to visual work, regardless of drawing abili‑ ties (stick figures work well!). All story genres are welcome. The goal of the workshop is for each student to complete and visually execute an 8-10-page comic story. Includes special guest speakers based on availability.

Developing Video Game Narratives

3.0 units Writing for games requires an understanding of structure that goes beyond linear storytelling. From the early days of tabletop gaming to more recent hits like Mass Effect and Fallout, writers are expected to hold many possible worlds—with multiple branching story points—in their heads. And to ultimately translate those concepts into actionable materials. In this course, you explore the nature of interactive story by working in multiple different formats (choose your own adventure, virtual novels, the Telltale style, etc.) and writing games that exemplify the fundamental concepts of branching narrative. The course goal is to develop a vocabulary for interactive fiction and to write a game in the format of your choosing that can be used as a calling card for future work.

Execs want to see your individual voice on the page before they consider you for staffing. In this course, you will learn (1) the craft of writing animation, including its history as a medium and the technical knowledge that affects our jobs as writers, and also (2) the art of structuring and ultimately writing a satisfying TV pilot—techniques which go beyond the world of animation. The two things necessary to get and ultimately maintain a job as a writer. The goal of this course is to finish with a half hour animated pilot script you can use to get work in animation.

Agents and producers often read plays with the goal of finding a writer who excels at character-driven storytelling—which is at the heart of theatre. In this course, you learn tools to deepen your characters, expand on new plot ideas, and most importantly, find your unique voice as a writer. You first explore the fundamentals of play construction and writing techniques, writing frequently to master the art and craft of playwriting, culminating in a one-act play or one act of a play.

3.0 units It’s been proven that by using acting techniques including scene study and improvisation, the writer can go deeper into character and story development. This course teaches the writer how to approach the creation of a character from the vantage point of the actor. Since characters are the most important component to any script, learning to use the tools employed by actors to capture their roles will pave the way for the writer to create the most well-defined character for his story. In addition, it can enhance the writing of the script and is a great tool for fine-tuning the writer’s pitch for episodic and pilot ideas. We cover the basic principles of character exploration. Where is the character’s dominating center of energy? Class members participate in improvisational exercises and act in the monologues, sketches and scenes they have written. By the end of the term, each writer creates several original characters for a pilot or episodic story concept grown out of class work. Reg# 396738 Fee: $720 No refund after 24 Apr.

Building Compelling Story Settings

3.0 units Dialogue, plotting and pacing are pillars of any good script or book. However, a strongly-evoked setting can lift a good story into a great one. Through this course, you look at striking examples of stories where the location was just as much a character as the protagonist. You take in such stories as a class and learn to articulate what makes your settings so striking. You look at photos of interesting locations and find all the right words to best describe them. And with visual media, you even “reverse-engineer” descriptions based on what you see, then compare your writing afterward to what the script dictated in the first place. As the course progresses, you are tasked to write stories in different media—prose, live-action, animation, graphic novel, etc.—with an eye to establish and extenuate the setting. Through extensive workshopping of material in class, you learn how to make location a signature aspect of your story, not just some arbitrary choice, and describe it in vibrant, compelling language.

How to Research Your Story

3.0 units Research always pays off (and not just when it comes to historical works of fiction). This is especially true when it comes to things that we think we know, things we’ve seen depicted before, like the inner workings of a law firm or the emergency room in a hospital. The most important step in writing a screenplay (or novel) is gaining the breadth of knowledge and mastery of the material that’s necessary to write with authority. The facts you find are almost always better than the stuff that you make up, and the creative decisions and choices you make based on research lead to improvements that won’t happen in any other way. The goal of the course is to learn how to gain mastery and become an authority on the subject of a script that you intend to write. Reg# 396824 Fee: $720 No refund after 24 Apr.

One-Hour TV I

3.0 units Modeled directly on how writers write in the real world of one-hour dramas, this course focuses on what is most central to creating a strong script as well as the largest piece (40 percent) of the writer’s deal with any show: the story and outline. You learn to choose the best story for your script of an existing series, map it out from beginning to end and write a strong outline in proper script format. In the pro‑ cess, you learn how to identify and capture the tone, characters, dialogue and themes of any one-hour drama series—the key to break‑ ing into the field. Also covered are the various genres (police procedur‑ als, medical, legal) and their specific rules; what’s popular in the current marketplace; and how to work within the special requirements of timeslots, outlets and styles. The course goal is to master the pro‑ cess of constructing an airtight story and detailed outline so you are ready to write a script for any current show as quickly and expertly as possible. All student projects must focus on current shows; no pilots.

If you’re writing a spec of an existing show, have you been true to the characters and situations as we know them, and still told a story that is somehow new? In this course, you review the choices your characters make, the consequences of those choices and how to make those consequences more dramatic. You look at your actions, your pacing, your tension and your stakes, among other things. The goal: to improve your one-hour or half-hour script until it’s a story that demands the reader’s attention.
