Presenters: Barbara Fankhauser and Ken Iverson
Step Into Storytelling will introduce you to the basic principles of storytelling. Using fun exercises, interactive games, and shared resources, you’ll come away with a story of your own, shaped to share with friends and family. You won’t find a gentler, safer, easier way to step into storytelling than these two, happy hours. Useful to those who are newer to this craft, this is also an opportunity for experienced storytellers to reflect on their work and sharpen their skills. This class is adapted from the live workshop Ken and Barbara offered two years ago. This is its maiden voyage out into the virtual universe.
Saturday, October 10 from 10:00 am to noon. Attend virtually via Zoom. Click here to register. Registration is just $15 per log-in. This workshop is partially underwritten by the Guild’s Steinberg Restricted Fund.
(Part 2 of the workshop will be held on Saturday, January 9, 2011. Separate registration required as it is not required to attend both sessions.)
Barbara’s stories come from her life, her imagination, the richness of her Celtic and Norse roots. She believes that, at the heart of it, the stories of one are the stories of all. The Guild is lucky to have Barbara as an annual performer for the Guild; she is our second longest active member and has served on the Board, most recently as President.
Ken has always known stories are healing. They enable us to connect on deep levels, entering through doorways such as laughter, or tears, or quiet self reflection. The more connected we are to our stories the more we can share. This workshop aims to enhance that connection. Ken was a founding member of the Portland Storytellers Guild almost 35 years ago and has served in various positions on the Board as well as being an annual performer in Guild performances.
