introduction to performance storytelling
A five-day exploration of the art of telling traditional myths and stories
Sunday, October 6th, to Friday, October 11th
Honeyberry Hill Bed and Breakfast, Ithaca, New York
Cost: $500-700 based on accommodation desired
Non-Residential rate: $300
This October I will host a gathering for those wishing to learn the skills of voice, physicality, and imagination necessary to tell traditional stories aloud. We will hear stories and tell some of our own, learning to bring traditional myths, legends and fairy tales alive through the power of the spoken word. Special attention will be given to composition, the role of improvisation, and the use of the body; we will also learn to explore stories from the inside out, relating their surprising images to our own lives.
For thousands of years traditional stories have been the means by which humans have connected with unseen powers, the natural world, and each other. Come channel the hag-queen, the rowdy king and the reckless fool within you so as to say things you never thought you could say. All are welcome and no previous theater or storytelling experience is required.
If you are interested in this residential workshop, please send an email to [email protected] for further details.
