“Tell me a tale that always was. Read me a story that I can be in…Turn me around so that I can see everything I was meant to be.” —Michael Kiwanuka, from Tell Me a Tale
Why is telling a story more important today than ever before? The intimacy and power of sharing stories hails back to ancient times when the first person stood before a communal fire engaging the community. In this camp we’ll learn how and why storytelling developed, and we’ll look through the lens of mythology—from across the globe. Through discussion, writing, and the art of storytelling, we’ll learn universal and specific elements of telling stories in ways that are lively, captivating and life-enhancing, stoking your imagination and critical thinking. Together, we’ll develop our own group story that explores the issues you are most passionate about. This camp welcomes your personal literary, visual, musical and digital arts interests and talents to create an innovative group presentation.
