ĒVOCĀRE

A mini workshop series on storytelling, reframing narrative, and practical stagecraft tools for everyone. Whether you are a would-be storyteller, a poet, a ballad singer, or simply wish to improve your confidence in public speaking, this workshop is for you.

MARCH 15TH

WORKSHOP SCHEDULE

  • 11am-2pm We deconstruct narratives, explore alternative perspectives, and identify the elements that create a great story.

  • 3pm-5pm We focus on various stagecraft techniques, explore musicality & meter in text, and practice vocal exercises to gain confidence and expressive dynamism in public speaking and performances.

  • 5pm-6pm Those feeling brave have a chance to try out their newly acquired skills with a telling and gain supportive peer feedback.

MARCH 19th

We come together once more, from 6pm-8pm (this time at Vapaan Taiteen Tila), to share reflections from the week and practice performing our newly refined stories, poetry, or songs for one another (with a final round of group feedback, if desired).

MARCH 20th

WORLD STORYTELLING DAY

We will gather together at Vapaan Taiteen Tila from 7pm-9pm to perform our myths, folktales, and poetry for friends, family, and community, accompanied by improvised live music. Afterwards, we will have an Open Stage round for anyone wishing to offer a story, song, or performance to the gathering. Light food and drinks will be included.

The event is free for UniArts students, with suggested donation of €10-€20 for all others.
