@ 6-7:30pm Central via Zoom
In this workshop participants will learn how to find and shape stories. We will discuss the five main elements of a story and how to discover them. By learning dynamic storytelling elements, you will gain the tools to pull short stories out of your everyday life. This will be an interactive workshop with a mixture of mini-lecture, 1:1 dialogue, and group participation. Participants will be invited to share their personal Gilda's story during a 15th anniversary storytelling event in 2023.
Note: The 11/3 and 11/5 workshops will cover the same content. Please only sign up for one.
