    Cloverdale Common at Cloverdale Mall – 250 The East Mall, Toronto, ON M9B 3Y8

  Join us for another Storytelling Workshop, hosted by Maria del Carmen Ordonez in Arts Etobicoke’s Cloverdale Common programming space. Maria will tell a short story for the participants to draw and visualize the images they saw during the telling. This is a very relaxing, supportive activity, and it will allow lots of opportunity for interaction and improvisation. This workshop is a perfect way to connect to your community through the practice of storytelling, listening, visualizing, and exercising your creative expression. All are welcome!

• 1001 Friday Nights of Storytelling

    Friday, June 20, 2025
  •  
    8:00 PM - 10:00 PM
  • Location
    St. David’s Church Parish Hall 49 Donlands Avenue, Toronto, ON (across from Donlands TTC Station)

  Every Friday night since 1978, storytellers and listeners have been gathering in Toronto for an open evening of oral stories. Each Friday night is unique, and everyone is welcome to come and listen, come and tell. On these nights, we come as listeners and as tellers: we may ramble on, recite, relate, recount, retell, or recollect; however, we may never, ever read. You might hear traditional tales, stories of personal experience, literary stories, original stories, ballads, or episodes from history, all told through the human voice.

  Pay what you can: $5 suggested
