So the Story Goes – Traditional Quebecois Storyteller
So the Story Goes is a series of activities presenting different forms of storytelling, from picture books to music and Indigenous storytelling. This project will explore different forms of storytelling important to the Quebec Anglophone community and will allow participants to experiment with many ways to tell stories.
This activity will include a short demonstration of traditional Quebecois storytelling, followed by a workshop during which the guest will present the basis of his art and will guide the participants in applying their new knowledge in a practical way.
