SYMPOSIA TICKETS and INFORMATION
****************************************************

(Scott Morse)

The TR!CKSTER SYMPOSIA are a series of critically-acclaimed workshop gatherings that focus on process, theory, and technique in storytelling across a variety of media. An engaging story is something that truly draws in an audience, hooking them into relatable aspects of the human condition in a way that they can’t deny, whether it be in a book, a film, a poem, or a song. In discussing this age-old process of storytelling, we at TR!CKSTER believe in truly melding the audience with the storytellers in an environment rich in learning and analysis. Everyone is considered a student at TR!CKSTER, from working professional to aspiring artist, and the Symposia have become an ideal exploration of how we as creators can continue to hone our craft. These aim to be much more than a classic speaking panel or signing, seeking to offer a one-of-a-kind experience of learning and collaboration. The Greeks defined a symposium as a “drinking party”. Be prepared.

Each 2-hour SYMPOSIA at TR!CKSTER 2012 will focus on a different aspect of storytelling. Last year, the Symposia included art demonstrations and workshops as well. This year, similar art demos will occur in the afternoons as a series of one-hour drop-in workshops featuring a rotating roster of today’s top artists.

Tickets for the ART DEMOS will be offered on site at the event.

Tickets for the SYMPOSIA will be offered in advance on Brown Paper Tickets at a cost of $40 per ticket, with limited seating of 25 per workshop.

TICKETS ON SALE FRIDAY, JUNE 15, 2012. Act quickly as seating is extremely limited.

PARTICIPANTS are being updated through the days of the events and are subject to change due to schedules, but will include luminaries such as JAMES ROBINSON (Leave It To Chance), MATT WAGNER (Grendel), MIKE ALLRED (Madman), JIMMY PALMIOTTI (Creator Owned Heroes), STEVE NILES (Creator Owned Heroes), SCOTT MORSE (Strange Science Fantasy), TED MATHOT (Rose and Isabel), and other storytellers from comics, film, and web series creation!

SYMPOSIUM 1

PLOT CONSTRUCTION and the perils of pay-offs

Seeking impact in a given story requires laying a deft and cunning groundwork that remains invisible to the audience during the telling of the tale. By front-loading and foreshadowing, through set-up and pay-off, we lead our audiences through a rollercoaster ride of emotion while satisfying that need for human connection through shared experience, be it fictional or true.

This 2-hour discussion is designed to stoke the imagination and supply participants with ideas on how to better consider plot elements in the crafting of stories.

Participating storytellers include JAMES ROBINSON (Leave It To Chance), SCOTT ALLIE (The Devil’s Footprints, Hellboy), SCOTT MORSE (Strange Science Fantasy, BRAVE), BOB SCHRECK (EIC at Legendary Comics), SHEILA KEENAN (Senior Editor, Abrams) and more to be announced shortly!

SYMPOSIUM 2

CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT and the shaping of emotion

“Character” is often considered the core of storytelling. In the telling of finite tales we experience characters growing and learning before our eyes, changing world views and making life-altering decisions that resonate with us on a basic human level, while in episodic stories, it’s the characters that lay the consistent groundwork to help us explore new situations with a steady anchor. What makes “character” tick is a layering of designed, deliberate choices by a storyteller. Broad acting and charming dialogue are the product of what lies beneath the surface of any character: inner turmoil, unspoken hopes and dreams, and conflict.

Join a cadre of today’s top storytellers in this unique 2-hour discussion workshop designed to bolster the craft of creating unique characters from the ground up.

Participating storytellers include ED BRUBAKER (Fatale, Criminal), MATT WAGNER (Grendel, Mage), JIMMY PALMIOTTI (Creator-Owned Heroes, The Pro), B. CLAY MOORE (Hawaiian Dick), IVAN BRANDON (Viking, The Cross Bronx), SCOTT MORSE (Strange Science Fantasy, BRAVE), MARC ANDREYKO (Torso, The Lost), ANDE PARKS (Capote in Kansas, Union Station) and more to be announced shortly!

SYMPOSIUM 3

WORLD BUILDING and the immaculate reality

The worlds through which our stories weave aren’t cut from whole cloth: we craft them with careful consideration, always aware of what lies behind the curtain and beyond the horizon, aware that these elements inform the focused view of our central story. If we do our jobs right, a simple glance will convince our audiences that the worlds we create seem fully realized and rich with culture and ideas unique to the intentions of our tales. Religion, politics, social structure, science, and history all play into the coloring of the worlds we create; entering into a storytelling relationship with our audience requires a crafted experience that’s considered from all sides, at all times.

Join today’s leading storytellers as we discuss, in this 2-hour workshop environment, just how worlds are born and are set to collide with confidence.

Participating storytellers include STEVE NILES (30 Days of Night, Criminal Macabre, Crime and Terror), CRAIG THOMPSON (Blankets, Hibibi), B. CLAY MOORE (Hawaiian Dick), SCOTT MORSE (Strange Science Fantasy, BRAVE), TED MATHOT (Cora, Rose and Isabel, BRAVE), MARC ANDREYKO (Torso, The Lost), TONY PURYEAR (Concrete Park, Eraser), and DAVE MCKEAN (CAGES, MR. PUNCH).

THE ARTISTS’ WORKSHOPS


Afternoons at TR!CKSTER will feature THE ARTISTS’ WORKSHOPS, a series of informal demonstrations by a gathering of today’s top visual storytellers. Designed to allow for up-close-and-personal demonstrations of technique and method, these workshops will feature artists creating original works on-site and in the moment, from watercolor and acrylic to pencil and ink. Work might include actual comics pages being produced, thumbnails, or original paintings that might be used for production. Some work will be available for sale as its produced, some just for demonstration, but these workshops have been hailed as some of the more memorable experiences at TR!CKSTER. Make sure to include this experience in your schedule this year!

Demonstrating artists will include  JILL THOMPSON (Scary Godmother),  JIM MAHFOOD (L.A. Inkstains), FRANCESCO FRANCAVILLA (Black Beetle), FABIO MOON (BPRD, Casanova), SCOTT MORSE (Strange Science Fantasy, BRAVE), ARMAND BALTAZAR (The Collidescape Chronicles, Pixar designer), and an assortment of other top visual storytellers from comics, film, and illustration backgrounds. Artists will vary daily.

UPDATE! Michal Makarawicz, Pixar animator and co-founder of ANIMATION COLLABORATIVE, will join us on SATURDAY during the Artists’ Workshop with a live Maya animation demo and information on the Animation Collaborative, one of today’s leading animation learning programs. Check out ANIMATION COLLABORATIVE here!
