Do you have a story to tell?
We are looking for LGBTQ+ people from the Liverpool City Region who are interested in developing their storytelling skills to join us for a free online conversational storytelling workshop on the theme of Tainted Love.
Telling Tales is Liverpool Queer Collective's regular storytelling event, bringing the community together to listen, share and connect. We usually hold Telling Tales a few times a year as an intimate, in-person, evening event. During lockdown, we're taking the opportunity to help develop your verbal storytelling skills with an online workshop.
Love can mean many things but often LGBTQ+ people find that the love of family, friends and partners can come at a price. TheTainted Love storytelling workshop will help you to explore your personal stories around the issues of love gone wrong; bittersweet experiences of love, from tales of those that are close to us who refuse to accept who we are, to the times that we have not been able to love others or ourselves in the way we would always wish to.
Led by Dr Stephe Harrop, an expert in storytelling and spoken-word performance, the workshops will offer you the opportunity to learn techniques for developing and delivering your story. You’ll discover how to use your voice safely, how to select and structure narrative elements, and how sharing personal stories can aim to create positive change among a wider community. You will also have the opportunity to submit your story to be included at a future Telling Tales storytelling event.
The event is an intimate and safe place for LGBTQ+ people to develop their stories.
Places are limited to ensure that you can get the most out of the experience. Booking is essential, please inform us as soon as possible (and within 24 hours of the event) if you are not able to attend.
