In this short course we will look at telling stories that are drawn from your own life experiences. Everyone has a story to tell, and we want to take these stories and create original monologues for performance. This course is designed for men to be able to explore their own histories and to tell stories that represent their experiences in the world. We will be using performance and oral storytelling to record and capture these stories. Students will learn how to write monologues drawn from their own experiences.
