Exploring Traditional & Personal Stories- Grand Rapids, MN

This half-day hands-on workshop is an immersive dive into creating memorable stories both traditional (folk, fairytale, cultural heritage) and personal (Moth style or longer form) stories. In this workshop we will look at transforming stories – personal and traditional by means of Immersive (point of view and./or description), deconstruction (breaking the story into parts), or braided (mixing personal and traditional elements) techniques. You can begin with any story – personal or traditional – and see how it changes as we apply the various approaches. The workshop is at the Unitarian Chapel in the woods. Limited to 12 participants. Loren Niemi is an innovative storyteller creating, coaching/directing, performing, producing, teaching and writing about stories that matter for audiences of all ages in urban and rural settings for over 45 years.
