SYNOPSIS
Every person has a wealth of life experiences and memories stored in them, waiting to be told through stories. In this hands-on workshop, adults will learn to improvise stories by playing games and telling the stories orally.
The games played during the workshop will trigger the participants’ imagination and memories which they will use to create stories.
This workshop is suitable for storytellers, writers, illustrators, teachers, parents and everyone who enjoys using their imagination and building on their communication skills.
AIMS
Play improvisation games that will allow participants to:
- Understand how a character in an interesting story is driven by goal and motive
- Learn the key elements of stories so they can create stories on the spot
- Think and speak “on their feet”
- Accept and build on the ideas contributed by others
- Dramatise situations
