FREE WORKSHOP.
Registration Required.
Limited Availability. Ages 16+.
All Writing Levels Welcome.
What are your mother's stories? Join this generative writing workshop where personal memory meets myth. Participants will explore stories they know, and wish they knew, about a chosen caregiver (parent, mentor, auntie, or chosen family), then reimagine them through the lens of mother mythology, from Demeter of Greece to the Sky Woman of the Iroquois. Through monologues or short scenes, writers will create encounters between their caregiver and mythological mothers, or transform them into one, grappling with the power and burden that entails. Open to all writing levels, this workshop invites bold, imaginative storytelling and new ways of seeing the relationships that shape us.
Led by playwright, MC Crosby.
