In this four-hour workshop we’ll identify then test our beliefs around the shape of telling.
From ‘Once upon a time’ to The Hero's Journey attempts are made to structure words so they can express experience - imagined and lived. These attempts can become dominant and sometimes we use them automatically without realising. In this way dominant ideas can bury other radical possibilities for structuring words.
This workshop seeks to uncover the beliefs of a particular group on a particular day around what makes a work of telling complete. We’ll work together and alone to produce a set of beliefs which we can play and test in exercises we’ll do on the day.
This workshop is open to anyone interested in telling stories, poems, songs, gossip, jokes, our lives, recipes, songs, histories, rules, procedures or anything else. Exercises can be completed in your preferred medium - be it writing, drawing, speaking, contemplating or any other.
