Our Stories Workshops
Artswords, Swindon Libraries and Cat Weatherill invite you to attend a Storytelling Workshop at the Central Library on the evening of 17th April, from 7pm to 9pm
We are the stories we tell of ourselves and each other. Stories define who we are and our place in the world. Stories give meaning to our past; help us know the present; and feed our hopes for the future.
You are your own story but how do you tell it? We want to help stories to be told.
Cat will help you develop the skills needed to shape and tell your story, then you can bring your story along to the one-day ‘polishing’ workshop on 12th May - and maybe prepare your story for telling at the Swindon Festival of Literature on the 13th May!
Workshop places are FREE but must be reserved in advance.

OUR STORIES is a three-event project:
Tuesday 17 April is a BASICS workshop ie how to find your story and shape it. This is two hours, 7 - 9pm
Saturday 12 May is an all-day POLISHING workshop. So you will bring along your story and work on it.
Sunday 13 May is PERFORMANCE day - the chance to share your story with a live audience at a Swindon Festival of Literature event. It will be a small, supportive event - a perfect place for sharing!
Do you have to attend all three events?
Ideally, yes. There is no obligation to tell your story on 13 May, but we really hope you will! If you cannot attend the Basics workshop, you might still be able to do the Polishing workshop and Performance if you have a story to tell. Get in touch and let us know!

SHOW
When ordinary people stand up and tell true tales about their lives, the honesty, humour, warmth and
vulnerability in those stories makes a human connection unlike any other art form.

Wonderful, poignant, funny, inspiring, straight from the heart - this is Life as a Grown Up!
Listen and enjoy. It’s an informal ‘pay what you can’ event. No need to book. Bring your family and friends!
Performance: Saturday 28 April 6pm . Everyone welcome (15+) No pre-booking required. Pay What You Can. Venue: Kenilworth Books, 12 Talisman Close, Kenilworth CV8 1JB
