Workshop Series
Workshops run every Monday evening at 7pm - 8:30pm from October 5th - 26th.
Free & Open to the Public! (Suggested donation: $20)
At Your Home via Zoom
Write about, share, and connect around your experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic with TMI Project at this drop-in true storytelling workshop series. True storytelling is a vehicle for human connection and can ignite hope during the darkest of times. We're offering this safe and welcoming space to help you tell your story and stay connected even if we can’t be in the same room with each other.
All participants are invited to submit a story of up to 1000 words to TMI Project’s open call for Covid-19 stories (attendance is not required to submit a story). We’re seeking stories about hope, resilience, loss, loneliness, silver linings, and the unexpected gifts you’ve received or losses you’ve grieved during the COVID-19 pandemic. We will select a small group of storytellers to further develop their stories with TMI Project’s Co-founder and Workshop Leader Eva Tenuto, which will be curated into a live storytelling performance taking place on November 30th.
About TMI Project Workshops
TMI Project workshops help writers identify the “too-much-information” parts of their stories, the parts they usually leave out because they’re too ashamed or embarrassed. We lead writers through a creative process that allows them to share their most personal stories in a compelling, effective, and empowering narrative. We aim to incite positive social change by providing writers with the skills needed to be captivating live storytellers, and by amplifying the voices of populations whose stories often go unheard.
