Over 60s Presentation: Introduction to Storytelling
2025-03-02 12:00 - 13:30 | Alliance Room, 1326 Washington St., West Newton, MA, 02465, United States
Introduction to Storytelling: Open to all!!
Presenter/Teacher: Linda Grosser
Telling true personal stories is sharing what it is like to be human. We connect—tellers and listeners—because true heartfelt stories, whether joyful, poignant, or funny, illuminate how we are really all the same, not different. We surely need this in our world. And, crafting a personal story can also be a powerful way to find meaning in your life. Want some tips?? Read On!
On Zoom and in-person attendees in Alliance Room (zoom link to be posted later).

A brief introduction on how to craft a true personal story (think the Moth Radio Hour)

The essential components, techniques for engaging an audience, and the flow of a good tale. Q & A as time permits.

In conjunction with this workshop, we are inviting a limited number to tell a story for the FUUSN congregation at a March 30 storytelling event on the theme “Lessons from Our Lives.”

Time permitting at the March 2 workshop, those storytellers are invited to bring a kernel (1 min max) of a story on the event theme to get some guidance from Linda in crafting your story.
Limit around 6 story tellers for the planned storytelling event on March 30.
If you’re interested in telling a story to the congregation on March 30, please send an email to Judy Friedman by February 22

Your Presenter/teacher: Linda Grosser is a storyteller, teacher, and producer. Her passion for storytelling began after careers in academia and the corporate world. She is an award-winning teller and has told stories at The Moth, Club Passim, and GBH ‘Stories from The Stage’, to name a few. She loves photography, travel, being with family and friends, and doing (almost) anything outdoors. Linda lives in Arlington MA. Check out her photos on Instagram @LindaTakesPix.
