San Diego is upon us! July 18-21st. This year I'll be there as a Special Guest, which means there are going to be a bunch of places to see me. Thursday July 18th
10:oo am - TR!CKST3R Symposia #1: Personal Experience: Putting YOU into your project
Stories come from somewhere. From our hearts; our minds; ourselves. We invest our experiences into our art sometimes sharing deeply personal aspects of our lives with our audience. How can we, as artists - as storytellers, remain true to ourselves AND tell compelling stories?
This 2-hour discussion is designed to showcase a diverse background of storytellers and encourage you to use your own experiences in your storytelling with confidence. Your audience can handle it.
Participating storytellers include VERA BROGSOL (Anya's Ghost), FAITH ERIN HICKS (Nothing Can Possibly Go Wrong), CECIL CASTELLUCCI (Odd Duck), DAVE CROSLAND, and more to be announced shortly! Tickets here.
