The Cherry Arts Inc: Workshop

Since the 1890s, the motion picture has grown to be a dominant force in storytelling, but how many creatives in other art forms employ the techniques of this medium? Many of us have vivid memories of favorite movie scenes, music, character voices, or even single lines of dialogue - and despite not having seen some of those movies in years, the elements are still fresh in our minds. Wouldn't you want your stories to have such lasting impact? This workshop introduces to spoken storytellers, visual thinkers, and aural creatives some introductory elements of storytelling culled from cinematic techniques. Come prepared to participate and explore how filmic components can be used to enrich, strengthen, and transform our storytelling experiences.
