LIVING INTO EACH OTHER'S STORIES:
The Collaborative Memoir Process
In this workshop we will learn about story-telling through deep listening to another telling a story. With a felt sense of the storyteller and her story, we will then form small groups to tell that story in the first person, as if it were ours.
In this interwoven way there is much to learn about the elements of the story telling/memoir process: vivid details, emphasis, rhythm, what is directly stated, and what is left out. From telling another’s story, we can learn how one person’s way differs from another's, and thus enrich our own process. And from listening to another tell ours, we may open to a different understanding of it. The whole group will come together to share what has been learned.
After listening to your story being read by another, there will be time for you to write your story, perhaps from a fresh vantage point.
The workshop concludes with discussion about this whole process.
Susan will then do a short reading from her memoir and discuss any questions that emerge.
She will sign books including any that participants bring in and also have some copies for purchase.(Cash or check only, please; no credit cards.)
