Playwriting & Theatrical Storytelling Workshop
Facilitated by Joseph Sarosy, author of How to Tell Stories to Children (21 languages), this workshop will bring children and adults together (ages 12-99) to develop storytelling and playwriting skills and bring a story of your choosing to life.
Participants will have an opportunity to see how story operates in a human being, within each other as a group, and ideally within themselves. Rather than being captivated by a story (or held captive), we will learn to interact with a story, influence it, and see ourselves in it as we grow and shift.
