The Indian
Stammering Association and Noura Embabi invite you to a ten session theatrical writing
workshop designed to give voice to your journey. Using theater as a means for developing
personal narrative, this workshop offers tools to explore the compelling
complexity of being a person who stammers and the role the arts need to play in
representing that unique identity. Participants
will learn monologue writing and interpretive techniques that have been used
over the last decade both in America and internationally in the Places of Pilgrimage
workshop designed by American playwright Heather Raffo.

Best wishes!

Good luck for the workshop.
