The poet Martín Espada wrote that every rebellion begins with the idea that conquerors on horseback will drown if plunged in a river. This workshop uses a framework of narrative fundamentals to explore the crisis at the heart of both story and movement work. How does crisis create us and how do we create crisis? How do we bring it all together to form a compelling narrative, both in the pages and the streets?
