Cause and Effect: Using Vector Physics To Build a Great Story with Athena Stevens

Does your play feel like there’s something missing or your character seem to be headed in a direction but you’re not exactly sure what keeps them going?

Forces come in pairs and for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Sounds like GCSE science doesn’t it? However the same principles of Vector physics power not only our planet but great stories. Does your play feel like there’s something missing or your character seem to be headed in a direction but you’re not exactly sure what keeps them going? Here is a crash course in learning that basic principles of movement and forces apply as much to creating story as rolling a ball across the floor. Learn how to visualise the forces acting upon your character, even drawing them out in a diagram to discover what your story is missing and how interpersonal friction is your friend.

Sounds like an A Level nightmare? Don’t let your own resistance stop you from telling the story you want to tell.
