Storytelling Camp for Children

July 23- 27

10am-12pm

$50

Using fairytales from around the world as a foundation for exploring our common humanity and for reveling in our diversity, children participating will have an opportunity to find their voices and practice telling what they perceive.

There are no mistakes possible as the whole world becomes a playground for our stories to come out and play….a playground full of fun, opportunities and consequences…

Once there Was….And Once There Was Not….

Storytelling camp for Adults

July 23- 27

4 pm- 6 pm

$ 75

The intention of the workshop is to familiarize people with the power of storytelling and each person’s power to tell stories.

During the Camp, we will be working with traditional folk and fairytales. Individuals are asked to bring a fairytale to work on over the course of the 5 days. (Resources will be brought in for those who are unable to find something on their own).

Using imaginative exercises, journaling, light body movement/play, discussion etc, participants will discover layers of meaning and relevance within each story. The camp could culminate in a small ‘telling event’ (this will be decided upon by the participants).

This workshop is guaranteed to be fun, moving and revealing – just like all good stories!!

Absolutely no experience necessary.
