As part of the "Series of Life for Arts" in the Gifted Arts Program, we invite you to a transformative Masterclass designed to ignite your imagination and unlock your creative potential.
This interactive session focuses on the art of storytelling as a “pre-text” to explore the depths of your creativity. Rather than following predetermined techniques, the Masterclass emphasizes imagining, visualizing, and discovering the stories that lie within each of us.
Through this process, participants will delve into personal and subjective storytelling, gaining tools to accelerate their creative journey. By tapping into subconscious processes, you will uncover new ways to catalyze and express your unique narrative.
Whether you are an artist, writer, performer, or simply someone eager to explore your inner creativity, this event welcomes participants from all walks of life to embrace the power of self-expression.
Open to Community at large!
Explore imaginative storytelling techniques.
Unlock your subconscious as a tool for creativity.
Connect with others in a supportive and inspiring environment.
Discover new layers of personal expression.
