“A story-making and drama workshop giving voice to small and precious things. Using an item that has real significance to the participant, we will unpack its importance and build the true story around the item. 

We will workshop bringing that story to life, first as the written word, then in performance. The workshop will teach participants how to confidently and creatively give an item a story and then convey its meaning using dramatic devices.  

We will select 3 or 4 of the participants’ stories and, in small groups, work together to playbuild the written word into performances and staged readings to share live as part of the Sunday Showcase program.  

We will also read and record all participants’ stories to create an archive of the work and a memento for all participants to take with them from the workshop.” – Duncan Fellows
