Finding Our Storytelling Voice with Natalie Nicole Dressell

  • MCC United Church of Christ Annex 5730 Cahuenga Boulevard Los Angeles, CA, 91601 United States (map)

This workshop takes place over two dates:

  • Friday, April 24th from 6pm to 8pm

  • Friday, May 1st from 6pm to 8pm

Everyone has a story worth telling. Through storytelling, we practice using our voices as a tool for self-understanding, connection, and empowerment. Students will practice identifying their true voice, as opposed to the voices and opinions of others we carry in our own heads. Students will write and perform their own story over two sessions.
