ARTIST'S STATEMENT
The Art & Craft of Cinematic Storytelling workshop is the culmination of my nine years of dedicated work in education, focusing on Storytelling and Filmmaking across various settings such as schools, colleges, academies, art organisations, galleries, museums, and community centres. Teaching storytelling and filmmaking to children, young people, and individuals of all ages is a passion of mine. I take great joy in guiding them on their personal journey of self-discovery while nurturing and cultivating their creativity. Indeed, creativity is the universal force that brought nature with its living organism on planet Earth - the driving force behind self-discovery, building resilience, and nurturing emotional well-being within each of us. Through the Art & Craft of Cinematic Storytelling, I guide participants in their self- discovery journey, co-producing their unique stories. To witness the participants' artistic and personal development and contributing to the "evolution" of the their creative and critical thinking, skills and self-confidence; is a truly honour. - www.luanadipasquale.com
