WHAT TO EXPECT
A facilitated storytelling workshop with local Belmont residents focused on everyday interactions with familiar public spaces. Through guided creative prompts, reflective writing exercises, group storytelling activities, and shared discussion, participants will explore routine movement, memory, and perception in relation to the environments they move through daily. Participants will be invited to respond to prompts such as: What places do you move through each day? What sensory details consistently stand out (sound, light, texture, movement)? What small actions or encounters shape your sense of connection or disconnection to a place?
The workshop prioritises collective storytelling, listening, and creative exchange, encouraging participants to transform personal observations and lived experiences into narrative material. Responses will also be documented and analysed to identify shared themes, emotional patterns, and site-specific insights that will directly inform the development of a new creative project.
