Storytelling: Exploring the Mother with Sarah Katan

Stories are woven from the threads of our lived experience. When the word "Mother" is said, what type of stories pop into your head? The word Mother is used to express a myriad of subjects: family relations, mentors, the earth we find ourselves living on, a community found or desired, the start of a curse word. In this engaging workshop, participants will learn about Ancram Center's unique approach to storytelling using the word "Mother" as the starting point.

Workshop participants will identify their own personal, compelling, true-to-life story. The process utilizes fun, creative, brainstorming exercises that will result in a story that is ready to be brought to life in a variety of ways.

Sarah Katan is a seasoned teaching artist from Ancram Center who earned her Ed.M. in Learning & Teaching from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and has over a decade of experience teaching in formal and informal settings.
