What happens when you step away from the written word? Storyboarding offers a different way to hold, remember, and explore stories. Working with images instead of text frees you to move through your story without getting caught up in remembering exact words. In this workshop, we’ll use storyboards as a tool for discovery, finding new angles, deepening our understanding, and opening up possibilities for how a story can be told. Bring a story, any story – personal, historical or fictional, finished or not – to explore through a series of storyboard exercises. Ideal for storytellers who feel stuck in trying to memorise text, or anyone curious about visual approaches to story development.
Max 10 participants.
