Join us for a FREE open mic storytelling session IN PERSON at The Stop Farmers Market. Tellers young and old, novice and experienced, amateur and professional get together to share stories, listen, and enjoy. The StoryTent is for people who have never told a story before and want to try it out; tellers who are working on a story and want to see how it lands; tellers with a tale for young and old; tellers from near and far. All stories are family-friendly and everyone is welcome to tell a story.
Celebrate pride with storytellers Jeffrey Canton, Cole Dille, Odracir Rodriguez and Cole White.
The course begins with some interactive personal storytelling but then moves to traditional folktales—clear, simple plot, arresting images, memorable language—as a basis for any kind of storytelling. Participants are asked to choose a traditional story from material supplied by the instructor, and then learn (not memorize) it through a series of enjoyable activities crafted to better connect the teller with their chosen story. The course ends with everyone telling their story and receiving helpful feedback from their colleagues as well as from the instructor.
