About this Event
LEAP: Life Embodied Arts Practice with Romeo Candido
November 23 | 1:00PM-3:00PM
LEAP is a storytelling method for storytellers seeking a more grounded, authentic voice.
The goal is to write from lived experience; finding the emotional truth of a moment and shaping it through character, want, conflict, and change. In the age of AI, machines can imitate style, but they can’t recreate memory, emotion, or truth. LEAP helps people reconnect with that.
Participants write, share, and begin to see how their own story can grow into something larger: a short film, a play, a series, a pitch or simply a clearer sense of purpose as an artist.
