This 3 hour workshop is aimed at 12-16 year olds who are interested in new ways to create stories and to the enhance the ones they already have. We focus on the connection between mind and body as we keep this workshop active and moving, unlocking the potential for spontaneous stories to be told.Combing aspects of improv, clown, and stand up we will touch on character creation, descriptive narration, and devising on the spot.
At the heart of these age appropriate workshops is story structure. We break down in simplest terms what is needed for a good story.
This is an active and dynamic workshop which combines theatre games and narrative techniques from improvisation. We create a safe space that allows inspiration to guide the story. How can we access simple creativity that will aid not only in story creation, but in our day to day interactions? Each of us are storytellers. Through age appropriate pair and/or group work we explore collaborative storytelling. What can we create together, in the moment?
