Feel Good Friday – Stranger Stories

Stranger Stories is, on one level, a collaborative and improvisational writing workshop. On another level, it is a space for adults to be playful and creative with strangers.  No experience of writing improvised stories or storytelling is necessary, just a willingness to collaborate with people you’ve never met.
