Victor 7

During the week of April 6, we led a series of storytelling workshops and events in Victor, Idaho for Orton Family Foundation and Envision Victor. One of the real pleasures of the city is the historic Pierre’s Playhouse, where we set up shop for a week. Although it meant that we had no internet connection, the theatrical spirit of the place infused our time with some magic. What an honor to be in that space with fine folks from Victor!
Here are the slides from the opening workshop:

We seek to ease civic, cultural and digital participatory divides, to open avenues for creative expression and to foster conversation about the impact of emerging technologies on rural life.

What we believe:

  • Employing social and expressive media practices strengthens bonds and bridges between people and communities;
  • Bringing together individuals, local informal and formal groups and institutions within a downtown third place enhances a sense of community;
  • Coming together within an informal place of creative exploration develops reciprocal apprenticeships across community divides, offers new ways to approach lifelong learning, builds local creativity, and provides opportunities for collaborative planning for the community’s future.
