Melo/Drama: A Dramatic Tension Workshop

May 11 @ 6:00 pm7:30 pm EDT

A graphic announcing "Melo/Drama: A Dramatic Tension Workshop" for the Nib and Ink Fest 2025 on May 11th, 2025 at 6:00pm EST featuring panelist Rivkah LaFille. The description reads, "Do all of your dramatic scenes sometimes feel a little flat? Do they sometimes feel like they're over-the-top and a little too MUCH? Well there's a time for drama and there's a time for melodrama, and finding that line is often a balancing act between script, dialog, pacing, paneling, camera, balloons and art composition. In this workshop, Rivkah LaFille, will discuss techniques for generating just the right amount of tension for the story you are creating so your readers stay engaged all the way to the last page!" An anthropomorphic inkwell and an anthropomorphic both holding comic pages decorate the graphic.
