Course Description:
In this course we’ll explore the elements of earth, air, fire, and water in storytelling. These elements appear in nature, in ourselves, and in the temperaments of story characters human and non human. Grounded reliable ones, flighty unpredictable ones, fiery characters who inflame situations, watery ones who can quench the conflict. With playfully deep exercises involving gentle movement, writing, and drawing we’ll experience these elements within ourselves, around us in nature, and in stories. Developing tellers can strengthen foundations and experienced tellers can deepen skills and expand perspectives.
