Creative Collaboration in Storytelling

For this collaborative art making session:

- Everyone brings something related to their art/creative practice that they don't need back: a piece of string, a sheet of music, scraps of writing, buttons and thread, fabric, whatever. They can also bring tools of their trade - an instrument, for example.

- We will share stories and through collaboration, with the use of artistic/creative tools use that story as inspiration to create something to share with the group.

- The goal: to learn new ways to incorporate various art forms into a collaborative experience, and in doing so find ways to meet the various learning styles of students in a group. And, to have fun :)

- Snacks will be provided

Facilitated by: Joanne Brokaw

Improvisor, teaching artist, and award-winning writer Joanne Brokaw knows a thing or two about creative fear. Despite her long list of accomplishments, for most of her career she's been a chronic 'fraidy cat with a terminal case of paralysis-by-analysis. Then, at age 50, she discovered improvisational theater and embraced the possibilities of “Yes, And”. Now she leads workshops to help others push past fear to discover their creative potential and learn to play again. Her second book, “Suddenly Stardust: A Memoir (of sorts) About Fear, Freedom & Improv”, is now available from Wordcrafts Press. You can learn more at www.joannebrokaw.com.
