Stories, Unscripted: A Playful Evening of Storytelling & Connection
What happens when we slow down, get out of our heads, and give ourselves permission to play?
Join Collective Ripples on Friday, October 16 from 7:30–9:00 PM for a welcoming, playful evening of storytelling and theater-based exercises led by David Deblinger, an award-winning actor, writer, director, and dramaturg, and co-founder of New York’s acclaimed Labyrinth Theater Company.
Through a series of guided beginner-friendly activities, we will warm up our bodies and voice, listen deeply, share stories, music, and moments from our lives, and see what happens when we give ourselves more freedom to be spontaneous.
Come ready to:
Relax and be more present in your body
Share stories and moments with others
Get a little more comfortable following an impulse
Laugh, play, and connect with new people
No acting or storytelling experience is needed. Just bring yourself, your curiosity, and a willingness to play! 💛
