About the Workshop:
Are you interested in learning how to turn a memory or anecdote into a more substantial story about your life as a member of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community or an 2SLGBTQIA+ ally? We often share these “kitchen table” moments about our daily experiences as 2SLGBTQIA+ without realizing their potential as stories. This workshop offers you ways to transform these "moments of being" into a compelling work of art. By focusing on one or more meaningful life experiences, you'll learn to shape a piece that highlights the importance of these moments from your life as 2SLGBTQIA+ or as an ally and will connect deeply with listeners.

About The Facilitator:
Jeffrey Canton has been telling personal stories for nearly 30 years as well as teaching how queer storytellers can shape stories about their lives and experiences into performance pieces that have the depth and power they deserve. Whether you’re interested in telling a story about your connection to a key event in 2SLGBTQIA+ history, your coming out along the spectrum of queer identity, a transformative moment in your queerness or a slice of your life as 2SLGBTQIA+, Jeffrey will share different ways that you can explore to make your story come alive. Registration is now open.
