In this six-week creative workshop, we will use magic realism and metaphor to transform our life stories.
“Imagine creating a transformative spell of a story that defies our current dystopian narrative. For 6 weeks you will be a translator of the real; an alchemist of lived or dreamed experience; a master of your past, present and future desires. Parallel Narratives teach us to RESIST the stories imposed on us; to ACCEPT that wisdom through folly is part of the path; and to create a vision of POSSIBILITY. This is not a writing workshop. In Parallel Narratives, you will TELL IT.”
In this six-week creative workshop, we will use magic realism and metaphor to transform our life stories. Through guided exercises and mindful facilitation, performing artist Trish Denton will introduce the group to the tradition of oral storytelling. Working from our own life stories as a starting point, we will draw from a variety of folktales, fairytales, pop culture and mythology to craft empowering Parallel Narratives. Be prepared to listen, speak up, move your body and experiment with elaboration through collaboration. For our final class, we will have an informal storytelling circle to share our process with family and friends.
Cost: $150 for the series. $50 pre-registration required. Space is limited to 8 participants. Please be committed to attending all 6 sessions upon sign-up.
