Storytelling: Creating New Stories to Perform

Shilpa T-Hyland explores ways to start telling a new story. Instead of sitting down with a pen and paper or computer to write a story, you’ll use objects, conversations and imagery to explore different ways to start creating a story on your feet. You’ll perform mini stories to each other and go away with creative exercises you can do at home.
