Tomorrow I lead another intensive, which I try to do once a season in NYC, though my schedule is making that harder and harder....but I keep trying to do it because the people who take the intensive are so fascinating. For example, this intensive has a professional screenwriter, an international burlesque dancer and performance artist, a visual artist looking to incorporate recorded sound and stories into their work, a middle-school teacher from a very rough middle school where storytelling might help connect with her students...it's really a testament to how ubiquitous story is. In the past I've led workshops with preachers, teachers, lawyers, plumbers, international refugees, divinity school students, Broadway producers...people from every walk of life.
I'm very excited--I love doing these, they're just about my favorite thing. I don't know when the next one is, except that it will be summer sometime...but email me if you're interested in taking part, and I'll include you when I send out advance word that one has been scheduled. That's a good idea, as they fill up quickly.
