Event Details
Do you have a story to tell? Join Francesca Sobrer for this three-day workshop, where you will have the chance to craft and practice your story and then share it with a live audience in the Great Hall on Friday, February 17th.
DAY #2
We will dig in a little deeper, digging for details, raising the stakes of our story. Again, using provided prompts*, we will play with story structure. What happens to the story when we start in the middle, the end?
Francesca Sobrer: Storyteller, writer, teacher, actor and director, Francesca enjoys working with actors and storytellers to help them develop the story they want to tell.
