Further storytelling musings

The workshop I took through the Center for Digital Storytelling was amazing. I highly recommend it. I brought a story about the first time I publicly broke the rules (by staying out past hours in my freshman dorm at Wittenberg University). There were 11 of us in the group, and I loved seeing the way our stories were transformed over the three days. I'm a believer! We each went home with a 2-3 minute Quicktime movie. Stefani and Liane were excellent facilitators.

So, now what? Turns out the Center is a co-sponsor of the International Day for Sharing Life Stories. Hmm, should I put my efforts towards involving Ypsilanti and Ann Arbor in next year's event (presumably in May 2009)? Could be a great way to get the word out about the work of the Ypsilanti 2020 Task Force.
