Interactive Workshop: Storytelling and Adaptation
@ Oriental Institute - University of Chicago
1155 E 58th St, Chicago, Illinois 60637
Opening Saturday, February 1st, from 1PM - 4PM
We all know the great stories like the Iliad, Gilgamesh, and 1001 Nights, but how do we as people create these epics? In this three-hour workshop, teaching artist Andrea Welton will lead you on a journey of discovery into the craft of story-telling. Developing your own story will help you to better understand how ancient and medieval people crafted, developed, and adapted the well-known stories that continue to resonate with us to this day. This workshop would be ideal for educators but also anyone in understanding the art of story-telling and going beyond reading a story.
For over fifteen years, Andrea has worked both locally and nationally with museums, schools and city parks as an arts educator and theatre professional, primarily focusing on unique programing that brings creative educational opportunities to neighborhoods. She has worked with students and teachers alike, conducting workshops in creative writing, story adaptation, and performance, as well as exploring new ways to integrate art and creative play into all aspects of classroom learning.
