What we’re about
sonder
[son-der]
noun
"the feeling one has on realizing that every other individual one sees has a life as full and real as one’s own, in which they are the central character and others, including oneself, have secondary or insignificant roles."
In this group, we will work together to create backstories for sets of characters that will then use to create a scene for. The emphasis is on taking into consideration how the backstories we've created shapes how the characters think, behave, act, speak, what "quirks" they have, and much more.
In addition to providing a sense of depth and authenticity to the characters we create, this is also an opportunity to look at oneself and understand how the things in our lives have shaped us, allowing us to be more understanding to ourselves and the people around us (who have their own lives and experiences that have shaped them in ways we cannot know).
