Untold: A Storymaking Workshop
What’s your story? Take a walk on the wild side with Voices of Women Artistic Director Lliane Clarke and unleash your senses, play with word fragments and watch as your unique story comes to life. Record a podcast together, and share the stories in readings.
Everyone is welcome to join this open storymaking workshop to inspire your creativity through spoken and written word, and sound. This is a safe space to create and we particularly encourage women from First Nations, culturally diverse, and LGBTQI+ communities to take part. In a collaborative environment we will explore and create together – using our powers of observation, storytelling, spoken word sharing, fun games and early character development.
Note: This is a workshop for all women over 18 to explore the female perspective including female identifying and non-binary creatives. Registration is essential.
