This can culminate in Season Finales where the characters (either by their own plans or serendipity) come together to beat the Big Bad. Essentially, every character works on a different aspect of the plot while one tracks down the mysterious Woman in White, another fights the left handed killer after her, and a third is trying to find out where the killer gets his orders from.
They probably won't stick together as strongly as the Character-Magnetic Team, but what ends up happening is that everyone meets at least once and they build at least a working relationship. In a narrative with Loads and Loads of Characters (or even as few as two), these will invariably be drawn together no matter how far away or distinct the characters and their troubles are. Margaret E."We are all connected" isn't just hippie-dippie jargon in Fictionland it's a universal constant like gravity, electromagnetism, and the weak and strong nuclear forces. Pull up a chair and check out another view to life. 15, so the Schiffmans’ vision is at hand, and accelerated.
#YOU ALL SHARE MY STORY SERIES#
Tuesday at Sacred Waters Brewing Company’s newish event space, The Wild Side, and the theme is “Nature & Nurture.” The series continues 5 to 7 p.m. This time around the “campfire” starts at 6 p.m. Our curiosity for others’ stories often feeds a willingness to share our own. Suffice to say, lessons were learned and limits reached.Īs shown by the popular storytelling programs “The Moth Radio Hour” and “Stories from the Stage,” it’s innately human to connect this way. Glenn Schiffman capped the night recounting his formative times “trucking on the rock ‘n’ roll road from 1971 to 1975” as a roadie for a few of the biggest bands of the time. Then it was on to Oregon’s RJ Young, who declared, “The cathedrals of nature are where I’ve always belonged.” “It gave me a glimpse of my lost soul.” Even with an unexpected rain that erased her chalk lines and other challenges, Wolf persevered. “That dead body shuffled around my head looking for a place to sit,” she said.Īnother presenter, Heidi Wolf, described the dating scene of Columbia Falls (“You don’t break up, you take turns.”) and talked about how she found a way out, through a labyrinth she constructed in her front yard.ĭespite the nosy neighbor, “the planting process energized me!” Wolf said. She mentioned a vision to establish an independent, curated series of story concerts to occur every three to four months.įrom the beginning it was clear we would listen and feel a range of emotions.Īmong the first performers, Polson’s Rebecca Ashcraft recounted a childhood discovery during a late 1960s Easter egg hunt that haunted for years. “Most of us consume stories onscreen these days,” Schiffman said, while referencing the campfire as a historic setting. The community college’s continuing education class “Tell Us Your Story” served as the launchpad for the performance.
Ostensibly marking National Tell a Story Day on April 27, the night presented the result of two months of work by eight students, who looked into the threads of their lives and detailed moments of them for an audience of 65. The couple has taken on a meatier chapter at each turn since their move to the Flathead in 2019 to be closer to family. After all, most of her storytelling chops occur behind the scenes.Ī veteran former reader of scripts for the film industry, Schiffman and her husband Glenn are indefatigable cheerleaders of local talent and curiosity around storytelling, writing and specifically scriptwriting for Flathead Valley creatives. Emcee Barbara Schiffman stepped to the fore in the Arts & Technology Building at Flathead Valley Community College one evening last spring to announce the setup for that night’s “story concert.”Ī big voice that comes in a small package, Schiffman may make an unlikely seeming impresario.
