Sheridan Reads would like to invite you to our first Story Swap, taking place tomorrow: Tuesday, February 24, from 7-9 pm, on the bookstore steps at the Davis campus.
Storytelling is one of the world’s oldest methods of communication, and as a story like the one Lawrence Hill tells in The Book of Negroes demonstrates, it’s instrumental to our ability to understand ourselves and each other. One of the clearest demonstrations of the diversity of Sheridan’s community is the wide variety of stories we have to tell. In this evening of performance and exchange, Sheridan students and community members will share some of the personal, touching, hilarious, and strange stories that make up the fabric of their lives. Any medium is welcome: performance poetry, creative non-fiction, animation, illustration, vocal performance, photography, etc. The evening will feature a guest appearance by acclaimed Canadian poet, Daniel Scott Tysdal.
Free and open to the public, this will be an exciting evening of storytelling by and for the Sheridan community – we hope you can join us!
