Chazen Museum of Art | Storytelling Workshop

Would you like your story to be part of an exhibition at the Chazen? Tap into your inner storyteller and join Jen Rubin and Takeyla Benton for a two-part workshop where you will learn the basics of how to find, craft, and present stories that pull from your personal connections using artworks in the upcoming exhibition Companion Species as inspiration. We will discuss the five main elements of a story and how to discover them. By learning dynamic storytelling elements, you will gain the tools to craft short stories out of everyday experiences. Participants will learn how to turn a personal anecdote into a story that illuminates a central truth about your life. This will be an interactive workshop with a mixture of mini-lecture, 1:1 dialogue, and small group work. After the workshop, a small selection of stories will be chosen for inclusion in the exhibition, which runs from October 19th, 2021–January 9th, 2022.
