Nils Osmar's Profile

I took the writing fiction and short stories class in summer 2008 through the experimental college, taught by Nils Osmar. I found it on Craigslist and signed up online on the experimental college web page. It's a good class. I got a lot of writing done, worked some kinks out of it and learned a lot. Nils covered all the basics and cleared up some things I had been wondering about. As a teacher he is encouraging, but also will tell you if there is a problem with your writing, and help you get on track and get it figured out. Five of us got together after the class for a writing group which was another thing I had been looking for, which Nils encouraged and gave us some good suggestions about how to set it up.

Took it in the spring, it's a really great class. I looked forward to it every Monday and I'm sorry it's over. Nils is a great guy and great teacher, he is ballsy and takes chances, and that gives students permission to do the same thing. I would recommend this class to anyone whether they are looking for a place to have some fun and let off some steam or if they are serious about acting and want to get hooked up to the acting scene in Seattle.

On the first night of class, Nils was showing us about improv, he got up and did some improv with this lady, she had never acted before and suddenly it was totally real. He created a safe environment and one where you can take a chance and try things. Learned a lot, highly recommend it.
