Improv Storytelling: Moving Characters, Moving Stories, Thursday, December 27, 7:00 pm

Teens, grades 6-12, join Rona Leventhal, a storyteller from Western Massachusetts, for an improv storytelling workshop in Druker Auditorium. Harness your hidden characters! Using improvisational theatre and movement, we will explore the bizarre, sweet, sly, bold, old and young characters that live in each of us. Learn to have a ‘body-sense’ of how to bring any character to life within a story. Give yourself permission to play and explore! The focus will be on exploring characters in general, not just one particular story. Open to all who want to have fun and learn!
