| Storytelling: Finding Ourselves through Images |
Meeting Location: East Line Books
Start Time: 6:30 PM
End Time: 8:30 PM
Contact Person: Robyn Ringler
Phone: 371-4151
Description: Storytelling: Finding Ourselves through Archetypes and Images
Instructor: Marni Gillard, Author of Storyteller, Storyteacher
Cost: $120 for 6 weeks
Description:
We’ll pick a story to explore and eventually tell to the group. We’ll work with the characters, motifs and images that intrigue us – exploring them like we might a dream. We’ll try life tales as well. The tale you dive deepest into could be a memory, a fairytale, myth, or narrative poem. YOU search out a tale. I’ll bring books and ideas to class one, but feel free to BRING a tale you’d like to work with. We might do some reading aloud but our focus will be on entering the archetypal worlds, characters, emotions and images dramatically. They’ll teach us about ourselves. It’s summer so if you have to miss a class, it’s OK! Come anyway. We’ll have fun. |
