In this craft seminar, we'll explore complex characterization through a series of brief readings and short writing exercises on developing character through contrast. We’ll consider various kinds of passing and performance: when does a character understand themselves to be putting on an act? What kinds of structural or personal relationships compel performance? What can a character’s performance for an external audience tell us about characters themselves, the settings they inhabit, and their potential narrative arcs?
