Workshop: Storytelling for Social Good
Tribeca Talks
| 60 MINUTESA well-told story rumbles in our stomachs, itches in our throats, and dances in our toes long after the curtains have closed or the credits have scrolled. But for how long? And what are the circumstances that give a story staying power? How does impact translate to action? How can we measure when, how, and why audiences engage further?
In a world where dominant narratives that dismiss and erase the stories of those most historically marginalized, also have the immense power to shape our attitudes, understanding, and behavior - how can storytelling be a tool to rewrite and recenter our cultural scripts? In this workshop, audience members will embark on a guided journey filled with prompts and provocations that sharpen the iron of conscious artmakers wondering what they can do to use their pen or camera for social good without sacrificing commercial success.
This workshop, organized in partnership with Level Forward, will be facilitated by Andrea Ambam (Level Forward, More To Talk About) alongside co-facilitator Dria Brown from Broadway Advocacy Coalition.
