What can exploring “the end” offer us as storytellers? Throughout this bootcamp, participants will traverse a wide-range of multi-genre narratives about cataclysmic endings—big and small. While exploring what apocalyptic stories can teach us about our anxieties and desires within a historical and contemporary context, participants will also discover the generative possibilities of embracing the archetype of the apocalypse in relation to craft, narrative cartography, and design. Using the cataclysmic as a subtextual lens and generative portal, participants will delve into a diverse mix of creative and experimental works and revelatory prompts to cultivate and expand their own narratives about endings, irrevocable change, and new beginnings.

Capacity: 20
