“Neighborhood” is a evening of true and personal stories told by community members. For this noncompetitive curated Slam, the storytellers are selected in advance, and each teller works with an Ex Fabula storytelling coach to prepare a story on the theme “Neighborhood”. Audience members can also participate in the storytelling by submitting UltraShorts, which are brief, true personal stories written on slips of paper and then read onstage by the emcee.
This event is part of the Equity and Inclusion / Capacity Building project, which is funded by Aurora Health Care Foundation, the Brico Fund, Northwestern Mutual Foundation, Herb Kohl Philanthropies, the Brewers Community Foundation, the Wisconsin Arts Board with funds from the State of Wisconsin and the National Endowment for the Arts, We Energies Foundation and Kohl’s Cares.

“Birth Stories” Workshop with Best Babies Zone
2019-04-25 16:30 - 19:00 UTC | Victory Manor at Westlawn Gardens, 5556 N. 68th Street, Milwaukee, 53218, United States
Everyone has a Birth Story. Whether it’s a story from your own experience or from someone you know, each story is unique and powerful. Was it amazing? Challenging? Devastating? Life-changing?
Best Babies Zone Westlawn invites you to explore the diversity in birth experiences through the power of storytelling! Join the professionals of Ex Fabula who celebrate the power of true and personal stories. We are seeking Birth Stories from community members of Westlawn Choice Neighborhood:

Using the theme “Birth Stories” you will be guided by Ex Fabula coach, Blanche, through a series of interactive activities. Working in small groups, you’ll learn effective storytelling skills, connect with other storytellers, and let your voice be heard.
Then, take your storytelling to the next level by sharing on stage at Best Babies Zone’s very own StorySlam, in partnership with March of Dimes Wisconsin, this summer. For more info about the workshop and StorySlam, contact Marcia Blackman at 414-263-8154 or mblackman@unitedwaygmwc.org.
This is a FREE workshop, and a light dinner will be provided. Each participant will receive a $50 stipend for their time and participation. Each participant is eligible for a $5 transportation reimbursement and a $20 childcare reimbursement (per household).
This workshop is supported by Greater Milwaukee Foundation and UnitedHealthcare Community Plan.
