THE GIFT: Stories That Unwrap
Gifts surprise and delight us when we receive them. Yet there is much more to a gift than its giving or receiving. Gifts unwrap many other unexpected surprises. Come this Christmas season and hear stories of gifts from members of Story Lab.
Story Lab is an informal self-help group of story-tellers, all graduates of Verena Tay’s Beyond Storytelling 101 course in 2009. It has met monthly in 2010 to develop skills for public performance, and has been mentored by Verena Tay, Kamini Ramachandran and Sheila Wee.
