Seminar - Story Archeology

Abstract:
The act of telling your story is a meaning making activity. In this course participants will dig up the stories that make up their life and use a methodologies from archeology to ascribe meaning and uncover connective tissues between their stories.

Prerequisites:
Participation in this course requires completed participation in our introductory storytelling workshop or a workshop through one of our clients.

Full Course Description:
Taking the phrase "trip down memory lane" very literally, Story Collider senior producer Lily Be, has created some techniques to uncover memories that are core moments to stories you can tell about yourself. Participants will map out the important people, places, and events in their life in an effort to find the stories that make you who you are.

Then, historical anthropologist and archeologist (and Story Collider science advisory fellow), Edith Gonzalez, will help bring the tools of the digging sciences as metaphors to help realize participants' excavations. This workshop is great for those storytellers who feel like they struggle to find stories or storytellers who have too many stories and don't understand how they are connected. If you are looking to unearth the stories that made you the scientist you are today this class is right for you!
