Dramatic Interpretation 

When you first hear the words Dramatic Interpretation, the first thing that pops in your mind is a theatrical over-the-top sob story. But as you take a closer look at this event, Dramatic Interpretation is in essence a 10 minute narration full of raw, honest emotions. The topics are not limited to melodramatic themes, as most presume, but rather a wide range from casual, lighthearted pieces to bold, intense pieces. Some topics include abandonment, abuse, illnesses, bullying, death, self-destructive behaviors and more. Keep in mind it is not the topic that determines the quality of the story, but how the story is written and your own modifications to the story. This event allows you to explore your vulnerability and connect with others on a personal level.  You will learn about character profile, character development, story build, and ultimately, yourself! If you want to get in touch with your deeper side, have a try at this event!
