Free class for underrepresented voices

Come learn how to tell true personal narratives, with a chance to go onstage! This class is free, funded by a grant from the Orange County Arts Commission, and reserved for underrepresented voices, including people of color, queer and disabled folks, immigrants, and anyone else whose voice has been silenced. Participants will not be required to tell an identity-based story, nor are those interested in the class required to justify their belonging.

What people are saying about Story Connection

  • "This event had all the intimacy, aliveness and bigness of spirit that so much of modern life lacks. Every story was not only a reminder that we are all essentially alone and ultimately unknowable to one another but also a much-needed bridge across that divide. "

  • “Storytelling has changed my life. I feel so enriched, enlivened, and empowered by the experience.”

  • "It was powerful to hear such a wide range of voices. It made me sit and think about the experience of living in a body that looks and sounds different from mine. "

  • "I love the shared vulnerability of storytelling, it felt like telling stories around a campfire."

  • "Hearing someone else's story (especially if that person has a story that our culture doesn't want to hear) creates empathy, compassion, and awareness. It is deeply impactful. I believe it is one of the most powerful ways to create change."

  • "To be seen and heard has magical powers. "

  • "The teachers were so kind and patient and made this a safe space to do something pretty scary. I so appreciate the norms that were set in the beginning and that everyone seemed to respect them. It felt like a kind, connected community."
