Event Details
Story Development Workshop with Joe Lambert for La Mesa: A Santa Fe Story Exchange
La Mesa: A Santa Fe Story Exchange
A long table, a single microphone, and a community excited to listen – this is La Mesa, a new type of storytelling event! Six voices share true, 5 to 7 minute lived-experience stories, followed by short responses from table-mates, concluding in a conversation with the audience. La Mesa emphasizes listening, reflection, and connection across cultures, ages, and experiences.
La Mesa is produced by Joe Lambert, storyteller, community artist, educator, and founder of the internationally renowned Storycenter, and is partnering with the Center for Contemporary Arts Poetry Program, and the Santa Fe Public Library.
Two free story development workshops will be held prior to the event. Community members who participate in the workshops will be considered for the performance.
The story development workshops take place at Santa Fe Public Libraries...
