Zoom
Is there an image or an idea that comes to you when you ask yourself "What is the story of my family?" Perhaps there is an object, a fragment of cloth, a tchotchke on the mantel, a line in a letter that you found in a drawer. A gift that was given when you were a child that you have been unable to part with. Such objects or images or even ideas have tremendous power for you, they might be a kind of chorus in the song of yourself that you are always singing, consciously or unconsciously. So how can they serve you in your work as a writer? How can you share that power? In this salon, we’ll work together to turn the small potent things that mean so much to us into plotlines or throughlines for stories and poems (or songs or dances or...). Let’s get together and make a big batch of soup from these symbolic soup starters!
Price for this salon is on a sliding scale: $15-$45.
