Children’s Storytelling Workshop facilitated by Olivia Romo
11:00-12:00 PM

For kids of all ages, this storytelling workshop will introduce young people to the basics of storytelling. Our young folks will be working with the playful idea that everyone, no matter what age, has an endless galley of compelling stories to tell. They’ll work with how to tell their stories in meaningful ways that will showcase the best of what they have to offer. Each participant will have a safe opportunity to develop a meaningful story that will hopefully be the beginning of many stories they will tell to their family, friends, and community.

At Twirl, a Play and Discovery Place, 225 Camino de La Placita, Taos, NM. 575-751-1402.

Storytelling Workshop
Hidden Gems facilitated by Antonio Rocha
12:30-3:15 PM

Transitions—the moments in a story where we shift between one thought and the next—are hidden gems tucked away in a story well told. Whether you’re your family’s unofficial historian or a professional teller, learning to master these moments will give your stories extra polish and finesse. This workshop will teach you how to identify and develop the transitions within your stories by practicing techniques with voice and body language. SOMOS Salon Space: 108-B Civic Plaza Drive, Taos.
Admission is $25 for SOMOS members, $35 non-SOMOS members.  Join SOMOS now. Reserve now. Call SOMOS at (575) 758-0081.
