Storytelling is the interactive art of using words and actions to reveal the elements and images of a story while encouraging the listener's imagination. —- The National Storytelling Network

At this workshop we will approach the art of storytelling from a physical standpoint.

Initially, we will explore basic elements of story-dramaturgy: beginning-middle-end, anticipation, change, tension, conflict, transformation, sympathy, contradictions, character inner motivations, line of emotions and relations, rhythm and timing.

Then, we will experiment with personal narratives, allowing our story to pass through the body and to be transformed into a structured image, able to communicate a clear message.

We are our stories, the stories we are told and the stories we tell ourselves. It is important that we are able to structure stories out of our own experiences and communicate them in an authentic and powerful way. Oral storytelling is about the experience of sharing and connection between the teller and the listener, and this experience is enriched by the capacity to communicate constructive and compelling narratives. We hope to help participants acknowledge the importance of their stories, train their storytelling skills, explore personal and fictitious realities, and form stories out of their memories and imagination.
