Workshop Description
Everyone has a story to tell. Real Art Ways wants to hear yours and help you broadcast it to the world. Being a storyteller gives you license to be curious, ask questions, explore new worlds, and share the stories you’ve collected along the way. Being a storyteller is not just a job or a hobby; it is a way of experiencing the world around you. A good storyteller is constantly observing and making connections.
Media is powerful! Learn the tools of media now. With them you will have the ability to bring issues and experiences that are important to you and your community to the attention of the general public.
In this program you will learn how to tell stories with sound. Since there are no pictures available like in television or newspapers, the images are drawn using language and audio. Close your eyes-what sounds tell you where you are? A familiar voice? The hum of the refrigerator? The bus driving past? Now open your eyes and tell us what you see. Describe thee scene for us, play-by-play, show us the environment, inch-by-inch, so we can visualize it with our imaginations… You are on your way to becoming an audio storyteller.
