Our workshop will be a participatory series of exercises in how to take a tale, and form it into a story that is unique to you, the teller. We will help you find a story to share, based on your youth and/or childhood; or, you may already have one in mind that you’d like to work with. We will edit these stories on the fly in pairs and triads, polishing them, and go over forms of presentation, discussing ‘spin,’ and audience. These fun exercises will keep you moving and thinking and will include time for Q & A. We will focus on stories of our youth with the idea of sharing them at a community gathering as part of a Plainfield Elementary School project to be held on the evening of April 10th 2025, although participation with this is not mandatory!

9.30 am - 11.30 am with an option for an additional hour to go deeper.

Free!
