SUMMARY:Telling My Queer Story
DESCRIPTION:Taking place over TWO SESSIONS May 29th and May 30th 7-9pm eastern time with the same link.  \n\n\n\nFacilitated by Jeffrey Canton and Hosted by Queer Community Deathcare We often share anecdotes about our daily experiences as 2SLGBTQIA+ without realizing their potential as stories. This workshop will teach you how to transform these “moments of being” into a compelling work of art. By focusing on one or more meaningful life experiences\, you’ll learn to shape a written piece that highlights the importance of these moments and connects deeply with readers. As a storyteller\, Jeffrey Canton also wants to encourage participants to tell their stories aloud – perhaps making a video of you relating your story  \n\n\n\nDAY 1 May 29th Workshop Highlights: A focus on finding ways to create a narrative that explores how you could share meaningful life experiences through storytelling\,  \n\n\n\n\nUnderstand the basics of personal storytelling and its impact \n\n\n\nShape personal stories into artistic experiences through the use of a variety of memory tools including writing prompts and photographs \n\n\n\nExplore various storytelling techniques including using online sources to add depth to your story and\, for those interested\, including adding music\, video\, or other performance tools to your piece \n\n\n\nDevelop a spoken word performance piece if interested for live or video presentation \n\n\n\n\nBy the end of this workshop\, you’ll have the tools to craft and share powerful personal stories.  \n\n\n\nDAY 2 May 30th Workshop Highlights: You will learn how to make your story come to life both as a written and as a performance piece\, highlighting both your own experience but also considering your story’s universality so that the importance of these moments of being will connects deeply with readers or with listeners.  \n\n\n\n\nConsider how personal 2SLGBTQIA+ storytelling creates a unique space for empathy and understanding and how you can use the sharing of individual experiences to explore voices and perspectives that might not have otherwise had a space to be heard \n\n\n\nShape personal stories into artistic experiences that focus on both the individual and the universal and learn the value of creating a safe space in which to tell personal narratives \n\n\n\nContinue to explore various storytelling techniques\, including adding music\, video\, or other performance tools to enhance the piece participants will be creating \n\n\n\nContinue to develop a written narrative that could also be transformed into a spoken word performance piece for live or video presentation \n\n\n\n\nAccess Details:  \n\n\n\nThis workshop takes place virtually on zoom in English.  \n\n\n\nThis workshop takes place over two 2-hour sessions.  \n\n\n\nAutomatic closed captioning is enabled.  \n\n\n\nParticipants can engage with their cameras on or off\, can unmute to speak when ready\, can raise their hands to be called on\, and can type in the chat with their contributions read out loud by the host.
