Open Masterclass: Deep Connection

About the masterclass:

Raphael Rodan is a master at finding a personal connection to old traditional stories. For this public masterclass he will invite one storyteller to work with Raphael, who will bring a story to work on. Usually, this happens in the closed environment of a classroom. But this time we will open the workshop to a larger audience, allowing visitors to witness the process of creating an individual personal connection to an ancient story. We hope that the audience will learn a lot from the process, and also will be exposed to a deeper artistic exploration of storytelling.
