So the Story Goes – Memoirs
So the Story Goes is a series of activities presenting different forms of storytelling, from picture books to music and Indigenous storytelling. This project explores different forms of storytelling important to the Quebec Anglophone community and allows participants to experiment with many ways to tell stories.
This activity will include a short presentation by an author, journalist, and creative writing teacher, followed by a workshop during which the guest will present the basis of her art and will guide the participants in applying their new knowledge in a practical way.
Guest – Elaine Kalman Naves
