Storytelling Workshop for Artists

January 28, 2012 - 4:00am

Mark Lyons of the Philadelphia Storytelling Project will conduct a professional development storytelling workshop for the general public, artists, BuildaBridge personnel, educators and social service personnel. The 3-hour workshop will cover the fundamentals of storytelling, how to integrate it into arts classes, arts therapy or other programs, and examples of computer based tools to mix audio with other art forms.  Participants will develop questions for interviews in varying contexts and for different populations, practice the art of storytelling with one another and reflect on the stories through group discussion.

More specifically, participants will learn:

  • The transformative possibilities of using storytelling when working with youth and adults
  • To integrate the BuildaBridge model into their storytelling work, emphasizing hope, dreaming of a better future, affirmation and honoring of each of our life stories and reflection
  • To integrate storytelling into the various art forms used for healing purposes
  • To utilize computer-based tools to mix audio stories and other art forms, visual arts, photography, dance and music
  • To develop a lesson plan for integrating audio storytelling into their current art discipline
