Although storytelling is a universally venerated and deeply human craft that extends bridges of understanding between diverse people and communities, high school students rarely receive instruction on how to tell a coherent, meaningful story.
Silk Road Rising’s 20-session in-school arts education program, EPIC (Empathic Playwriting Intensive Course), is designed to harness playwriting to bridge the gap between a student’s imagination and the act of articulating that imagination as a fully-formed, ten-minute play.
