SUMMARY:Advanced Storytelling Workshop: Practical and Esoteric
DESCRIPTION:“When you write a memory\, it isn’t in the past anyway. It’s alive right now.” ― Natalie Goldberg \nThis class is designed for those who have completed the Unexpected Productions Creative Storytelling course and are ready for advanced-level story exploration and creation. Our aim is to help you broaden your story repertoire\, establish a stronger connection with your audience\, and improve your performance skills. During the course\, we will cover topics such as narrative development\, audience rapport\, themes\, and your personal storytelling journey. We’ll explore how to create stories by delving into your personal histories and memories\, including those you may be hesitant to share. Each class will focus on two concepts: one practical (sensory work and presentation) and one more abstract (vulnerability\, empathy\, and listening). With a maximum class size of 12\, all students will have the opportunity to share their work and receive feedback. Participation is mandatory\, and we are excited to assist you in enhancing your storytelling abilities on a deeper and more meaningful level. \nDates: 6 Saturdays. 3:00 pm – 5:00 pm\, starting July 13\, 2024 \nNOTE: Attendance at the first session of your course is mandatory as it sets the agenda for the entire quarter.

SUMMARY:Seattle Theatresports Improv  2024
DESCRIPTION:As you enter the Gum Wall\, you’ll notice a buzz of excitement in the air. Everyone here is gathered to have a good time and laugh. Families of all ages are lining up at the concession stand\, where you can smell the fresh buttered popcorn\, and over at the bar\, they are serving icy and inexpensive drinks. \nWhen you enter the theater\, you’ll feel the music’s beat. You’re experiencing Theatresports\, a high-energy improv show where teams of improv professionals create spontaneous scenes that are so hilarious\, quick-witted\, and perfectly constructed that it’s hard to believe they are made up on the spot. \nJoin us every Friday and Saturday at the Gum Wall in Pike Place Market\, with doors opening at 9 PM and the show starting at 9:30 PM. \nTheaterSports\, all the way! They are goofy\, silly\, funny\, unabashed\, clever\, witty people. I didn’t know what to expect before going but found myself laughing at practically everything they did or said. This is improv comedy at its finest. Lea A.\, 5 stars\, Yelp
