Discover the Oral Historian in you and fall (back) in love with oral history! EVERYDAY POETRY is a five-week class taught by me on the art of gathering, preserving, and interpreting oral stories – the literature of the street, the buzz of a corner store, the personal stories that dismantle stereotypes. >> We will be diving into the history of spoken word and acquiring the necessary tools to begin (or continue) an oral history project of your own with the support of a community of oral historians.>> We will read and discuss orality narratives, learn new ways of gathering and preserving language, and explore various media in relation to amplifying oral history narratives. >>We will talk about why stories matter, discuss the shaping, sculpting, and editing of what we find, and send our work out into the world. You do not need experience with oral history to take this class. WHEN: Tuesdays, 6:30 - 9:00pm, April 7 – May 12th (note: this is a five week class. We will not be meeting on 4/21). WHERE: Waywards San Francisco Mission, at Mission and 29th street, accessible to 24th street BART. COST: Early Registration: $200. Discounts available.MORE INFO: http://waywardwriters.org/sf-mission-classes/REGISTER HERE: http://waywardwriters.org/contact-us/ -- source link
