You've got life experience and you want to share your triumphs, foibles and wisdom, but where to start? Begin with a five minute story. We'll meet and you'll create a bite size story that you'll be proud to share whether for the Moth or a jumping off point to a memoir. Join a group of people 55 years and older to share your story and support your fellow storytellers.

This 8- week class uses imaginative play and the ensemble based techniques of top theatre makers to help you develop an original piece for the theatre.
