Under the title ‘ It takes a story to raise a child " The Philipsburg Jubilee Library in collaboration with the Ark Foundation will be hosting a remarkable workshop about telling stories in a fun and effective manner.
The workshop is designed to develop persons in our community with the capability to tell stories and to enhance those persons, who already have some experience in this field. The workshop will be conducted by Mr. Wijnand Stomp. AKA Mr. Anansi who is a well known Dutch Antillean theatrical story teller in Holland. The first edition of the workshop, held in August 2010 was highly successful. At the end of the workshop the 15 participants delivered a magnificent performance.
This year the Library and the Ark foundation would like to repeat this success and give more talented local persons the chance to develop their storytelling skills.
The workshop will be held on five consecutive days between Monday September 12th and Thursday September 15th. On September 16th the students will be showing off the end result of the workshop to the general public by delivering their own storytelling performance in the Cultural Centre. The course fee is only ANG 50 for the entire workshop. After completing all sessions, the participants will be effective and entertaining story tellers, who will get the full attention and involvement of their listeners.
