Previous Workshops

ReWrite the Past, Re-Vision the Present
a creativity workshop that invokes our oral traditions to create prose/spoken word pieces

who names you? who are your ancestors in lineage and spirit?
what writing is waiting to emerge from family oral traditions?
what writing emerges when you connect to someone else’s memories?

Using a combination of movement exercises, visualizations, writing prompts, and theatrical techniques, we will mine memories, family stories, myths - both ours and those of other lineages - to create short prose and spoken word pieces that invoke our ancestors of spirit and lineage. After writing, we will present these pieces within our group so we can hear our own voices out loud telling the stories that only we can tell. We will create within a supportive, nurturing workshop, inspired by our connective and collective histories.

· When: 3 Sundays starting February 22, 2015
· Where: Santa Fe Southside
· Time: 10 am to 1pm
· Fee: $ 115
· **Limited to 15**

Manifesting Story

What are your untold stories?
If your unwritten characters spoke, what would they say? What would they do?

Using assorted "jumpstarts" - writing triggers, visualizations - we will do in-class writing exercises to give voice to characters and texture to story, all to mine those creative silences within and nudge the subconscious out -- first, onto a page and later, out loud so we hear our own voices telling the stories only we can tell.
