Amanda FINALLY rocking her @vocalo t-shirt. #teamvocalo (at Vocalo 89.5 FM)
We assign great homework at the Vocalo Storytelling Workshop. This week’s assignment takes some diligence and time to complete but its a great piece with advice on storytelling, radio, and very much so- on life in general.
From Jad Abumrad’s: “The Terrors & Occasional Virtues of Not Knowing What You’re Doing”
- Create the arrows and (look) for the arrows
- Recognize change
- Collaborate promiscuously
Lets try to make your screens look like this on Saturday.
One storytellers first step.
Why apply for a workshop on story telling?
- To take a risk. I saw the application and simply thought “why not?”
- To be a better person. After the first day of the workshop, I realized just how much I have yet to learn about life. Diversity does make room for an open mind.
- To expand a skill. Telling a story may seem the like the most natural ability, but - at least for me - it is a skill that must be cultivated.
- Lastly, radio is hip. Yes, I said hip.
And that is all there is to it.
So, check it out: We’re recruiting 8 to 10 community-minded folks to participate in Vocalo’s free storytelling workshops. The classes will be taught by multimedia professionals from Chicago Public Media (Vocalo/WBEZ) and will take place at 848 E Grand Ave at Navy Pier, every Saturday from 12-4pm, from May 5th-June 2nd.
