Join Detroit Mercy and storyteller/artist Satori Shakoor for session two of The Art, Craft and Science of Storytelling on Wednesday, April 9, from 5:30-8 p.m. in Health Professions Facility (CHP), Room 124.
In this session, four storytellers will be chosen from session one (held on Feb. 25) to develop their stories with Shakoor for presentation in front of an audience on this date at the Bridges not Fences VI: Stories of Trauma and the Road to Recovery event at the University.
Shakoor, a 2017 Kresge Literary Arts Fellow, is the executive producer for the award-winning The Secret Society Of Twisted Storytellers (TSSOTS), which she founded in July 2012 in Detroit. TSSOTS has a global mission to connect humanity, heal and transform community and to provide an uplifting, thought- provoking, soul-cleansing entertainment experience through the art and craft of storytelling.
Through these workshops, Shakoor provides a platform in the form of storytelling in which to share these stories and give others hope that with patience, love and support, we all can move past our trauma.
