The StoryPlay  Sessions for 2012  are:

THE MULTI-PURPOSE PROP

7pm to 9.30pm, Tuesday 28 February 2012

Classroom 2 (upstairs), The Substation, No: 45 Armenian Street

Facilitated by Verena Tay

Just as how we use words to stimulate the imagination of our audiences, let us storytellers use props in a discerning and resourceful manner to support our storytelling. In this exploration, let SAS Professional Member Verena Tay guide you in expanding the possibilities of using a chosen prop and then integrating these new options within your telling of a story, thereby further wowing your audience with your creativity.

Pre-preparation for Participants

• Please come dressed in loose, comfortable clothing so that you will not feel constricted while doing the various physical activities.
• Please bring at least one generic non-breakable prop (e.g. a piece of cloth, a stick, a ball) that you would like to experiment with.
• Please bring at least 2 action-based stories that you would like to improve the telling of by using a prop in a variety of ways.

USING PERCUSSION

7pm  to 9.30pm, Tuesday 15 May 2012

Classroom 2 (upstairs), The Substation, No: 45 Armenian Street

Facilitated by Verena Tay

Sometimes the rhythm and sound of speech is not enough to sustain the telling of a story. Perhaps the use of a percussion instrument may provide the added aural texture that will bring your storytelling to another level. Then, you are faced with the following dilemmas: what instrument to use, how do you play the instrument, when is the best time to use the instrument in relation to telling a story? So in ‘Using Percussion’, let us take the time to explore and experiment with these options and then work towards a draft of a storytelling performance.

 

Pre-preparation for Participants

• Please come dressed in loose, comfortable clothing so that you will not feel constricted while doing the various physical activities.
• Please bring at least one percussive instrument that you would like to experiment with.
• Please bring at least 2 stories that you would like to improve the telling of by incorporating percussion.
