We are delighted to announce the return of the PROP SWOP for a third season in which experienced tellers share practical skills in a focused and compact format, which you can use to enliven and enhance your own repertoire of telling. While primarily showcasing our members for the benefit of our wider community, we also welcome non-members keen to share their skills too.
Prop Swop Series 1 & 2 were a huge success!
What is Prop Swop?
In each 90-minute session, participants will learn two or three different techniques (one from each facilitator) such as origami, paper-folding, string, pictures, tangrams and a transforming picture, that you can use to tell a story. Following feedback from the previous season, we will be flexible on the timing - some techniques (such as paper-folding) may benefit from allowing participants more time to practice and ask questions of the facilitator
As well as teaching you the technique, step-by-step, facilitatos usually share a story so you can see the technique in action. Each technique will be accompanied by a handout which will receive along with a link to the recording. This will provide you with a lasting reference on that technique.
Prop Swop 3 is FREE for members. Non-members can view at $8 per session, or subscribe to all 4 for $25*
* Non-members: if you submit a proposal to share a technique and it's accepted, you will receive a free pass to view all four sessions of Season 3.
Prop Swop is scheduled for the Third Thursday of each month
The series is curated curated by Diep, Meenu and Selina. If you have a technique you'd like to share, please email the Prop Swop Team
