  3. Storytelling as Self-Care with Sara Porkalob and Andrew Russell


Thursday, DECEMBER 10 at 7PM

Registration required and available beginning Monday, NOVEMBER 16

Anyone can be a storyteller, and storytelling is one of the most rigorous tools we have to fight social injustices, build community, and facilitate personal healing. Via interactive storytelling exercises, participants will mine their unique lived experience for content and engage their imagination via accessible improv.

In addition to being interactive and fun, this session will provide participants with a toolkit of exercises for future use in facilitation, community-building, and other creative and collaborative endeavors. No prior storytelling experience required. Participants should be prepared to take notes.

Offered in conjunction with Dragon Mama. How does a Dragon earn her wings? Maria Porkalob, Jr., yearns for a gayer, more POC-filled life than Bremerton, WA, can offer. When presented with an opportunity to make a quick fortune, Maria must make an important decision: leave her debt-ridden mother, four young siblings, and newborn daughter Sara for the wild unknown of Alaska, or stay close to home, family, and intergenerational trauma. Traversing 25 years filled with queer love in a barren land, the 2019 Elliot Norton Award-winning Dragon Mama features ghosts, Filipino gangsters, and a dope '90s R&B soundtrack.

Dragon Mama is available on demand now through DECEMBER 10. Access to the event lasts 48 hours from your order date. Household tickets $30 each with pay-what-you-can option available at AmericanRepertoryTheater.org/Dragon-Mama.
