Afternoon Schedule
2:15 Workshop with Bil Lepp
Being Funny Creating funny stories to tell takes time and craft. My general rule is that every third sentence should be, or contain, a joke. That generally means that the two lines before it are building that joke. But it also means the line after the joke has to be a transition from the last joke to the next joke. How does that happen? A lot of tinkering and a lot of rearranging. Come to the workshop to find out more!
3:15 Workshop with Jim May
Personal Stories with Jim May: Workshop participants will have the chance to explore their own life journeys through the lens of culture, traditional tales, and mythic symbols and archetypes. By sharing and hearing stories, reflecting, writing, and meaningful discussion, we will open the door to fresh creative insights and artistic inspiration—whatever your art form may be. The stories that come out of this process often feel especially real, original, and powerful.
