DIGITAL: Constructing Branching Narratives

Choose Your Own Adventure narratives are currently experiencing a resurgence in multiple mediums, thanks to experimental television shows like Bandersnatch, video games like The Witcher, and books like House of Leaves.

Join author Oliver Langmead and Twine writer Francis Butterworth-Parr for a workshop introducing participants to the non-linear storytelling software Twine: an easy-to-learn tool for activating mythic narrative branching in the digital age. After a tutorial on Twine’s basic features, participants will engage with exercises to help them design and write their own branching narrative sequences, leaving them with a grounded framework to take away and develop.
