These snippets can make the best stories!

    Don’t Apologize for Being Funny

    Through a series of folktales and discussion, participants will explore the humorous side of the storytelling tradition. Short examples will be given of tales from Europe, Africa, Middle East, Asia, South America, and the United States that demonstrate how humor has always been an important part of the oral tradition. Participants will create a short funny story of their own based on an existing joke or by reframing a short story they know to be humorous. In the process they will be encouraged to put themselves in the story or restructure the story to include familiar surroundings or experiences.

    Linda Gorham

    Old tales. New life. Twisted. Fractured. Re-envisioned for 2020.

    Old folktales and myths have endured because they speak to universal truths about justice, fairness, acceptance and other values. When we tell them, we can and we should dig deep and ask: “How could some of these stories be creatively retold for today’s audiences and today’s issues?” Linda Gorham will explore ways to re-tell old tales by changing characterization, setting, narration style, point of view. We will also explore addressing issues unique to 2020 and beyond.
