If you’re ready to dip your toes into the storytelling experience or brush off skills you haven’t exercised in some time, start here. Instructor Akwi Nji launches the series with a generative workshop focused on the foundational steps of mining for and crafting a personal narrative story to be told on stage. 

In this three hour generative workshop, participants will engage in exercises to help identify a story and then draft their own 3- to 5-minute personal story utilizing Akwi’s suggested “key elements” to engage a live audience.

Alcohol inks is a medium for folks who have never tried painting as well as the seasoned artist. It is a class where the students can just relax and discover the beauty, motion and flow of the inks. Students will learn basic alcohol ink techniques and then will have a chance to experiment with the inks to create their own colorful artworks. Paintings will be on square tiles and Yupo paper.
