DDH StoryHour Returns Winter Quarter 2016

November 15, 2015 -  

In July, the first "DDH StoryHour" came to the General Assembly in Columbus, Ohio. Eight live, first-person narratives on the theme of learning about one's self, or "Self: taught" were told by DDH alumni/ae and friends before a crowd of about 100.

The force behind the event was alumna Rebecca Anderson, a Chicago-area pastor with a background in playwriting. She curated the stories and worked with Associate Dean Yvonne Gilmore to recruit the tellers and to host the event.

Did you miss the StoryHour at GA? Thanks to Adam Frieberg, you can listen to one of the stories, told by Marshall Dunn, on the new DDH podcast page, https://ddhchicago.simplecast.fm. More stories will be released in the coming months.

Rebecca Anderson previously curated a storytelling event for the 2014 CCIW Regional Assembly and, after offering a round of workshops last winter, a Monday night version featuring DDH students in March 2015.

An encore event, again preceded by student workshops and replete with spotlights, sound effects, and venturesome storytellers, is in the works for Monday, February 29. (That's right, leap day!)
