What’s your story? Sharing stories makes the world a better place. It is through storytelling that we discover and celebrate who we are and where we fit in the world. Our personal narrative is both profound and transformative and telling others is empowering.
The Voices of Women workshops are a fun and creative way to bring the community together and share and create stories. Suitable for groups of up to 15 women of all ages, they explore and develop short stories in an active environment, that does not require previous experience or literacy levels.
The storytelling workshops can be one or two days depending on outcomes. We also deliver short phone film workshops building on the stories for two days.
The workshops can be part of a program to leads to a live performance in the local communities. They are great for young women who want to express themselves creatively, have a story to tell, or want to meet others, or have fun writing or learning about acting and filming stories.
The workshops are run by Voices of Women Artistic Director Lliane Clarke and guest tutors who are creative and experienced workshop facilitators.
The storytelling workshops can be one or two days depending on outcomes. We also deliver short phone film workshops building on the stories for two days.
