As part of Luminato, Indigenous Youth (16 - 25) will have the opportunity to participate in a storytelling workshop led by Yolanda Bonnell, and facilitated by artists Cole Alvis and Ashley Bomberry. The workshop includes warm ups and discovering the different ways a story can be told (body/movement, writing, song, or combination). Participants will find the path that suits them best and will create a 5-minute piece of theatre that will tell a specific creation story.

Participants will then have the opportunity to perform their piece in front of an audience as a prologue to Yolanda’s performance of bug at Luminato. This is not mandatory. It’s important that participants feel comfortable and that the primary goal is that they are gaining new theatrical/storytelling skills. Participants can also attend the performance with family/friends as audience members.

The workshop is FREE to participate (note the capacity is 10 participants, registering in advance is recommended). Light snacks and workshop materials will be provided.

The workshop will be held at:

The Theatre Centre (1115 Queen St W Toronto, ON M6J 3T4)

 The workshop dates:

Saturday June 16, 2018 @ 12PM - 4PM

Sunday June 17, 2018 @ 12PM - 4PM
