• Workshop TBD

• “Vividness, Verve and Vigor: Playing with Words” with Ingrid Nixon

Vivid language, plus verve and vigor in delivery makes for engaging, memorable stories. In this active workshop we’ll explore creative, compelling ways to use language to enliven the tales you tell. Bring a story you are working on and leave with practical ideas you can readily put into play.

• “Storytellers Journey: Our Life is a Story” with Gene Tagaban

We are the tellers of Personal and Historical stories, Legends or Mythic stories, cultural or tradition stories but often we have barriers that stop us from telling the story. How do we recognize and move past these barriers in a good way?

11:45 – 1:45p: Break for lunch

Attendees encouraged to pre-order a boxed lunch through the Sunset Lounge at checkout.

12:15 – 1:30p: Open Mic, Sunset Lounge

Welcome to the Annual Forest Storytelling Festival in Port Angeles, WA! World class storytellers will make you laugh uproariously and will tug at your heartstrings. Everyone — from preteens, grandparents and everybody in between — will find stories of love, comedy and inspiration.

Our storytellers will invite you into the lives of people, fictional and real. These are characters who are, on the inside, just like you. They’re also people from many cultures, coming alive in the voices of tellers from all over the globe.

Enjoy inspiring workshops, entertaining live performances with expert storytellers, networking opportunities, and open “story slam” opportunities for you to share your tales. A full weekend of stories inside the beautiful Field Arts & Events Hall in Port Angeles, Washington.

The Story People of Clallam County is a guild that promotes the art of storytelling. We all have stories to share… come share them with us!
