A three day storytelling and teaching workshop for Kenyon College, June 4-6, 2019.
Welcome to a three day adventure / exploration of an… untested idea.
That’s where I need your help. An elusive consortium out there wants you to interrogate if this is even viable.
For more details, see background material .
Now while I described a “narrative” tying a course together, I asked participants to think even more broadly for a theme, metaphor, topic, question that could provide that thread woven across a course (or project) that would create an “arc” of experience.
We explored the characteristics of storytelling and use of digital media that make it a powerful combination– but do not think this limits the scope to fiction or the imaginary.
