UPCOMING WORKSHOPS

Throughout the year, Ancram Center offers workshops in storytelling and other creative practices that encourage self-expression. No prior experience is needed in order to participate!

Storytelling Workshop
Saturday, January 10
at Spark of Hudson
502 Union Street

Take your storytelling to the next level at a workshop designed for anyone who has a story to tell!

In this engaging workshop, participants will experience Ancram Center’s unique approach to storytelling. This process, developed through their celebrated Real People Real Stories (RPRS) program, utilizes fun, creative problem-solving exercises to identify different story ideas. By the workshop’s end, participants will have the start of a personal, compelling, true to life story, along with a plan to bring that story to life!

Ancram Center's Lead Teaching Artist, Sarah Katan, will work with storytellers to help them prepare their stories for the stage. According to RPRS creator, Paul Ricciardi, “The goal is not to create a polished monologue, but to allow the spontaneity of a real-life story to shine through.”

Sarah Katan is a seasoned teaching artist from Ancram Center who earned her Ed.M. in Learning & Teaching from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and has over a decade of experience teaching in formal and informal settings.
