SYNOPSIS
Every person has a wealth of life experiences and memories stored in them, waiting to be told through stories. In this hands-on workshop for adults, you will become aware of how important it is to use information from your senses to create/tell appealing and memorable stories.

We will play games to enhance our awareness of senses and emotions, in order to enrich original story scenes and turn them into memorable moments.

This workshop is suitable for storytellers, writers, illustrators, educators, parents and everyone who enjoys using their imagination and building on their communication skills.


AIMS

  •    Infuse stories with information from the senses
  •    Realise how emotions change and charge our perception and memory of facts
  •    Create and tell original story scenes
