Sharing Autobiographical Stories of Motherhood; From the Page to the Stage
Autobiographical Storytelling
Christen Clifford
This performance-based workshop, offers an opportunity to hone your craft, and engage in the art of storytelling, while expanding ideas of Mothering in the 21st Century. Listen to your peers, share experiences, while opening to your own performance talents. Using the class audience, and expanding on the workshop setting to engage and inspire, participants experience a new confidence and insight, through community and communication. The experience of 'Mothering' is a unique state of being. Often the mothering experience leaves little room for individual needs or self-expression. Exploring modalities of self actualization through creative movement, acting, and feedback, this workshop weekend will take you to the next level whether you're a professional or just starting out. This workshop is open to Mothers and individuals with stories about Mothering.
