Discovering our Stories

(1 customer review)

90.00

 Everything has a story to tell, from a tree with the wind blowing through its leaves to the stranger sitting on the same street corner every day. Stories inspire us to look inward, explore our emotions, understand ourselves, and to share with others what is like to feel what we feel. This workshop intends to guide you towards a deeper emotional connection with yourself through improvisation, interaction through story-telling, and the discovery of how to frame your own story into a literary context. I am a writer who lives in Florence and one of my passions is finding stories that a casual glance might miss. We will stroll through Florence, listen to other writers, and help you build your own fascinating characters out of the people and places that we see. Join me on this literary adventure.

    It is always great to work with other writers to get perspective on your work and how they see it. I learned a lot about developing characters and writing short stories in this workshop. I especially enjoyed the exercises that we did during the time we were together. It was fun! Thanks! http://www.anamericaninitaly.com
