SUMMARY:Storytelling Masterclass
DESCRIPTION:Do you have a story to tell?In this interactive\, two-hour masterclass\, you will learn the elements of a good story and an approach to preparing it for the stage. \nInspired by the style of The Moth\, this interactive workshop introduces the art and craft of personal storytelling. Participants will explore what makes a story compelling\, how to shape and refine a true story\, and how to deliver it with confidence and authenticity. We’ll cover where great story ideas come from\, techniques for editing and tightening your narrative\, and practical strategies for managing nerves and stage fright. \nBy the end of the class\, students will leave with the tools\, structure\, and confidence to craft a polished story on their own—whether for the stage\, the page\, or personal expression. \nWhat to expect: \n\nAn overview of the essential components of a great story\nTechniques for shaping\, refining\, and delivering personal narratives\nTips for finding story ideas in everyday life\nStrategies for handling stage fright and performance anxiety\nParticipant interaction\, including Q&A\nA take-home handout summarizing key concepts and tools\n\nWhat to bring:Story ideas (no writing or performance experience required). \nAges: Teens & Adults \nInstructor Bio\nCatherine Weber is a three-time Moth StorySLAM champion\, poet\, artist\, community organizer\, and marketing executive with a lifelong passion for the arts\, education\, and the environment.

SUMMARY:Three Stand-Alone Poetry Workshops: The "Dark Basket of a Blank Page"
DESCRIPTION:“The unknown is the dark basket into which we plunge our hands to bring out words that feed the hungry and clothe the poor—as good a definition of poetry as we might find.”\n-David Whyte\nTo read a poem\, we face an unknown: what is this poet saying?  To write a poem\, we face a blank page: what do I have to say?  How will I say it?  While at times the unknown can be exciting\, often it is terrifying\, and it keeps us from doing the creative work we want to do.  In these three\, stand-alone workshops\, we will: \n• Practice how to read poetry more adeptly.\n• Enjoy the conversations that open up between poems and our fellow workshop participants.\n• Hone our own poetic craft through drafting a new poem in each session.\n• Leave with prompts for further independent writing and suggestions for revisions. \nAll levels of writing experience are welcome.  Suitable for participants 16 years and older. \nThursday MARCH 19: 7:00-8:30PM\nThe “Dark Basket” of a New Season: Poems for spring\, growth and courage \nInstructor: Sarah Crowley Chestnut \nTickets\, per class\nNon-members $30\nMembers $25 \nNot already a Member?
