Think of a story that has particularly touched you and why. It can be anything from a book, a radio programme, blog or a movie, a TV documentary a play.
What is it
that makes it a good story? Think about this, write down your thoughts and bring this with you to the workshop.
Is there a particularly medium you’re most interested in using and why? Think carefully about this. And you don’t have to be restricted to one medium. There’s absolutely no reason why couldn’t mix media –photos and audio with some video. If sketching is your thing then that’s great – they can always be scanned, uploaded and used, together with audio of your thoughts. Last year one of the participants recorded her experiences on the soles of her shoes, so don’t be afraid to use your imagination when you think of how to communicate your experience.
