Telling Our Stories

Description

Lompoc Theatre Project is excited to announce a brand new six-week storytelling and poetry workshop for adults, “Telling Our Stories: A Storytelling and Poetry Workshop,” led by renowned artists and community advocates Tayllor and Ademola Oyewole-Davis. The workshop consists of six 90-minute sessions taking place on select Sunday afternoons beginning September 28. Throughout the six weeks, participants will learn techniques for writing and performance; connect with multicultural mentors; discover their unique voice; and build confidence through creative expression. Once their stories are completed, each participant will be invited to present their work or have a professional actor read on their behalf at a special community performance on Sunday, November 9. The idea for this workshop was brought to Lompoc Theatre Project by board member and Cabrillo High School teacher Robert Morey, who has a special passion for sharing arts and culture with adults - especially seniors - in the Lompoc Valley. Thanks to generous grants received by Santa Barbara County Office of Arts & Culture and Collaborative Communities Creating Change (C4), Lompoc Theatre Project is proud to be able to offer this six-week workshop free to all participants.
