Own your Virtual space
Thursday, October 29, 2020 at 9:30 am, EST
Presenter: Prof. Alex Dawson, Rutgers Writers House
About this event:
Using the global connection of vampires, Prof. Dawson will take participants on a journey in understanding how to use their native culture and languages to free their creativity and find their voice in speaking and writing.
This Global Conversation will explore:
- Voice exercises to increase speaker confidence
- Owning your creativity in storytelling
- Spinning "story catchers", based on your life experiences
- Using story catchers to create uncommon stories of immersion (versus translation)
