Grimm and Beyond
A Storytelling Workshop with Master
Storyteller Susan Gordon
and House Concert with
Storytelling Friends
Sponsored by
the WV Storytelling Guild and the Frank and Jane Gabor WV Folklife Center
Join Susan Gordon, a powerful teller of the traditional tale and the
personal story, as she leads a one-day interactive workshop that invites the
participants to tell a story of their own.
Susan will provide a range of exercises and activities to help
participants bring a story of their choosing to life: a folk tale, a personal
story, or perhaps one based on the Friday night concert tales. The ways
storytelling, art and writing can help a person move through life’s challenges
will also be discussed. Those attending this lively, interactive workshop will
leave with a deeper understanding of story exploration and development, and new
skills to implement in their future work. Suitable for older teens through
adults, novice to experienced levels of telling.
“Susan Gordon knows the depth of
the Grimm Brothers’ tales and brings forth the power within them.” Dr. Margaret Yocom, Founder:
Folklore Studies Program, George Mason University (http://folklore.gmu.edu)
