Carol Birch
The Whole Story: Using Imagery to Extend the Story Experience


The real art of storytelling restores the primacy of the imagination in tellers and audiences alike. In this Friday workshop, Carol Birch helps storytellers bring character and setting into sharper focus through a process that adapts easily to meet the storytelling experience of everyone. The goal is a more precise re-creation of an imaged world, one that has the vividness and conviction of daily living.

Friday, May 16. 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM.
