We all have stories that have meaning and inspire but we often don’t know how to craft our experience into compelling stories. The Flame: Storytelling Workshop is a two-day program with Deborah Williams, the co-founder and Artistic Producer of Vancouver’s popular storytelling series, The Flame. This is The Flame’s first time hosting a storytelling workshop in Richmond. The storytelling workshop is designed for both experienced and beginner storytellers to collaborate in a small group of 15 participants. Special discount offered for those who live and work in Richmond.
Following the workshop on October 6th, join Gateway Theatre for The Flame: Storytelling Showcase and spend the evening listening to powerful, inspiring and energetic true stories from a variety of people, including those who have just completed a two-day The Flame: Storytelling Workshop.
