A Brief Relief From Grief

Everyone has grief—death, illness, divorce, failed friendships, impoverished childhoods, even the death of a dream. What if we combine them, shake them up and re-tell that sad story with a twinkle in our storytelling eye?

World-renowned performer/writer/teacher, Deb Filler, believes that laughter helps keep us sane—it’s a super-valuable natural resource. Deb has had countless experiences in her career and personal life where laughter turned pain into wonderful medicine. She believes laughter not only uplifts, it’s courageous and contagious. Humour truly nourishes the soul.

This workshop will is limited to 10 people, offered in four parts, 2.5 hours per session, with a reading of the work at the end, as well as some one-on-one time with Deb.

Deb will work with each participant, who will receive a toolbox of storytelling skills and a springboard of options to choose from. Participation can be through storytelling, character, standup, film, video, poetry, hip hop, song or movement.
