“Our stories have power, they shape how we understand ourselves and the world around us. They teach lessons, they entertain us and they help us to remember our past.” ​​​
- Rema Keen, creator and leader
This immersive, five-day, storytelling workshop invites students into a creative, supportive space where they will learn the age-old art of storytelling. The workshop is planned to be a space where participants will work together to create a performance based on their stories.
​From 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. each day, participants will dive deeply into story—collecting narratives, writing scripts, collaborating with peers, and shaping an original performance woven from their collective words and songs. The final piece will reflect both personal stories and those gathered from family and community.
​
Along the way, students will strengthen essential listening skills—because every good storyteller begins as a good listener. They will also learn foundational theatre techniques, including stage direction and blocking, editing and scripting, and the art of Tandem Storytelling.
​
Come join us this summer for a joyful, creative week where we bring our stories to life.
