La Mesa Event at CCA

@ A long table, a single microphone, and a community excited to listen – this is La Mesa, a new type of storytelling event! Six voices share true, 5–7 minute lived-experience stories, followed by short responses from table-mates, concluding in a conversation with the audience. La Mesa emphasizes listening, reflection, and connection across cultures, ages, and experiences. La Mesa is produced by Joe Lambert, storyteller, community artist, educator, and founder of theinternationally renowned Storycenter. Partners for this event include the Center forContemporary Arts Poetry Program and the Santa Fe Public Library, with support from theWitter Bynner Foundation for Poetry Two free story development workshops will be held prior to the event to assist with story crafting. Community members who participate in the workshops will be considered for the performance.Storytelling WorkshopsLa Mesa: Story Development WorkshopsSaturday, April 11, 202611:00 AM to 1:00 PMLa Farge Library, 1730 Llano Street, Santa Fe, NM 87505Registration: santafelibrary.org/event/la-mesa-workshop-lafargeAndSaturday, May 2, 20262:30 PM to 4:30 PMMain Library, 145 Washington Avenue, Santa Fe, NM 87501Registration: santafelibrary.org/event/la-mesa-workshop-main Center for ContemporaryArts Add to calendar Google Calendar iCalendar Outlook 365 Outlook Live
