Storytelling is a tool for preserving memory and history, learning, entertainment and healing. It is in the telling of our stories that we discover our connections with others and the world. Our stories reveal truths about ourselves and our community; they reflect our experiences and point of view. We are the stories that we tell.
This workshop gives students the tools to tell their stories using digital media (video, still images, sound and artwork) edited on a computer. Students will individually produce a short video (5 minutes and under). Through the process we’ll examine modes and power dimensions of storytelling, and topics like truth, authenticity, and responsibility. This class is perfect for those who are creative writers, filmmakers, photographers, visual artists, or creative thinkers. This is a hands-on, Mac-based computer intensive workshop. Students do not need to know how to use particular editing software but should be comfortable using computers. There will be a lunch break each session.
