Telling challenging stories in new ways

Stories tell us what we already knew and forgot, and remind us of what we haven't yet imagined.

Why & How

Why story?

Exploring stories with common materials.

Exploring stories with common materials.

A tale, however slight, illuminates truth.

Telling them can:

  • celebrate triumphs, tackle fears and embrace change

  • help us shift perspectives

  • shine a light on what is important

  • free us from shackles that can bind us

People think that stories are shaped by people. In fact it's the other way around.

Telling part of my story in a new way - exploring how to integrate media -  voice, image, drawing and sound

How will we tell
our stories
?

Individually with me or in small groups (in person or online):

  • taking an art-full and metaphorical approach overlaying different story structures like fairytales and myths onto our personal stories

  • using digital tools to tell your challenging stories in new ways by integrating music with your words in your voice with your artmaking or found images. 

  • absolutely no experience is necessary! I will be your guide.

Using digital tools to support the story
