Twist the Tale: Reimagining stories with a creative spin
Unlock your creativity by taking familiar stories and giving them an unexpected twist. Creative fun for teens.
Question: What do Wicked, Into the Spider-Verse, and Percy Jackson have in common? Answer: They all twist a well-known story.
It might be retelling a tale from a villain's point of view; it might be different versions of a familiar hero; or it might be relocating characters or stories into different environments.
This workshop will get you thinking (and writing) about tried and tested storytelling in a completely different way.
For ages 12 and up.
Workshop participants will receive a $10 voucher to be spent at the Tamariki Book Festival on 13 July.
