Autobiographical Writing Workshop

Autobiographical Writing Workshop

Tue, Apr 28, 4:00 PM
From Backstory English Bookshop - Events
4.7

How do we tell our own stories? What do our personal histories say about the collective human experience? The biggest advice from writing professors is usually to “write what you know,” and nowhere is this more evident than in autobiographical writing – be it fiction, non-fiction, poetry or genre-bending works. Authors from Charlotte Brontë to Ocean Vuong have used their personal experiences to dictate their writing and capture a universal message that strikes a chord with others. In this workshop, **we’ll explore how to channel our inner stories and write from a place that moves us** – at the end of the day, whether or not what ends up on paper is “factually true” will be beside the point. **Please bring a notebook and pen, or a computer or tablet, in order to do a few writing exercises. You can also purchase notebooks at the bookshop.** *About the host:* **Lucia Benavides** is an Argentine-American writer and journalist. She has published several personal essays in LA Review of Books, Literary Hub and The Washington Post. From 2017 to 2022, she served as the NPR correspondent from Spain. She’s currently working on her first novel.

Este es un encuentro, con recurrencia mensual, abierto a personas que tienen una idea de proyecto —personal o profesional— y sienten que necesitan **parar, compartir y ganar claridad** para dar el siguiente paso. Será un espacio cuidado y sin juicios, donde nos presentaremos, compartiremos ideas y trabajaremos pequeños ejercicios que nos ayuden a empezar a movernos. También abriremos un espacio para apoyarnos desde la experiencia. Este no es un grupo de networking, es un grupo de apoyo para compartir, ganar claridad y empezar a caminar. Si tienes una idea rondándote la cabeza y te apetece compartirla en un entorno seguro y humano, este encuentro es para ti.

Storytelling Barcelona en Español y Català – "Primeras veces"

Storytelling Barcelona en Español y Català – "Primeras veces"

Wed, May 20, 5:00 PM
From Storytelling Barcelona
4.9

**Storytelling Barcelona en español y catalán — Tema: ¡Primeras veces!** No podríamos haber empezado nuestro camino en los idiomas locales con un tema mejor que las primeras veces. Queremos escuchar toda la gama de historias: esas primeras veces inesperadas, torpes, divertidas, vergonzosas o qué cambian la vida. Una primera vez puede ser un comienzo hermoso o un final abrupto. Rara vez es perfecta y muchas veces está lejos de lo que imaginábamos. Pero siempre deja huella. 📍 **Dónde:** Café El Noa Noa, C/Villarroel 71, Eixample 🕢 **Cuándo:** miércoles 20 de Mayo **Hora:** puertas a las 19:00, historias de 19:30 a 21:30 💶 **Entrada gratuita** \| Donaciones bienvenidas ¿Te interesa compartir una historia? Asignamos los turnos por orden de llegada. Por favor, rellena nuestro formulario [aquí](https://forms.gle/SEZFWkNX2gRDRHPd7). No es necesaria ninguna experiencia previa. Solo pedimos que las historias sean reales y personales, que se interpreten en lugar de leerse, y que sean historias (no reflexiones filosóficas, discursos motivacionales ni rutinas de stand-up comedy). **El contador puede escoger el idioma (Castellano o Catalán) para contar su história.** El contenido queda completamente a criterio de quien cuenta la historia, siempre que esté relacionado con el tema del mes y sea respetuoso con la diversidad y las experiencias de todas las personas. El evento se celebrará en el Café El Noa Noa, una librería-café y espacio cultural queer en la Antiga Esquerra de l'Eixample. Storytelling Barcelona es un evento completamente gratuito organizado por voluntarios. ¡Todos son bienvenidos a subir al escenario! Ahora también tenemos una lista de correo para mantenerte al día con los eventos. Puedes suscribirte a través [de este enlace](http://eepurl.com/jwaKDg).
