Storytelling Concert and Workshop to Be Held at the Frank and Jane Gabor WV Folklife Center at Fairmont State University

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)
