[In Person] Tell Your Story
Screenwriting 101 by Sayuri Jayawardena on Wednesday evenings
Service Description
In Tell Your Story: Screenwriting Basics, we’ll dive into the fun world of storytelling for TV and film. Together, we’ll explore what makes a great story and bring our own ideas to life by learning about characters, plot, and dialogue. Through hands-on group activities, video clips, and easy screenwriting exercises, each group will create a unique script and experience what it’s like to be part of a writers' room. Whether you love movies or just have a story to tell, this class will help you build confidence in your creativity and work as a team to create something amazing!
Upcoming Sessions
Cancellation Policy
Our classes operate on a first-come, first-serve basis, with limited seating for up to 13 participants to ensure a quality learning experience. By registering, you reserve a valuable seat that may prevent others from joining. We understand that plans can change. However, cancellations made within one week of the class start date are not eligible for refunds. If you are unable to attend, we are happy to offer a course voucher, allowing you to apply your registration toward a future class of your choice. Parent/Guardian Attendance Policy Our program is designed to empower adults with IDDs to participate in classes at UT Austin alongside their peers, including both other adult students and college students. We encourage our participants to build self-confidence, practice age-appropriate social skills, and experience the independence of a college environment, just as any neurotypical college student would. To support this mission, parents and guardians are not permitted to attend classes with their student. However, if there are special circumstances—such as a need for assistance with personal care or concerns about behavior—exceptions to this policy may be considered. These exceptions require review and approval by our Executive Director, Kaelin Rubenzer, on a case-by-case basis. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
