“Every person is a philosopher, artist, and storyteller.” Hal Adams
In ancient cultures, the storyteller or philosopher was called the “seer” or “spirit caller”. Using intuition and communication skills, they passed on known history, information and wisdom to new generations. We’ll spend the day exploring our own stories and the way we tell them through writing, discussion, and theatre-based exercises.
WEDNESDAY: Word Play Workshop

All work and no play makes for a dull writer. Come stretch your language brain! We’ll uncover the magic in words through fun games and exercises. We’ll play with palindromes and anagrams. We’ll expand our vocabularies and play with words by writing special kinds of poems, riddles, and tongue twisters! Come, play with words!
