\u201cFive stories, told 50 ways\u201d
\n<\/b>Come up with five stories you want to tell. They should be stories that are or have been important to you and that you know well: favorite bedtime stories from childhood; books you read and reread, or movies watch over and over. Myths and legends, or songs that tell a tale. But also favorite stories that <\/span>you<\/span><\/i> tell, family stories, the stories you tell about yourself that say something about who you are or want to be.<\/span><\/p>\n

Find a way to encapsulate each story in 1-2 sentences, and write that down. It should have a rudimentary narrative component, but mainly it needs to capture the essential essence or gesture of why this story has been important to you. <\/span>Write this down for each of your five stories.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Now, tell your five stories in fifty ways, through fifty (50) objects that you make. It is up to you how many object you devote to each story\u2014it could be 46 for one, and then one object for each of the remaining four stories. It can be an even-handed 10 object per story. It can be anything in between.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is also up to you how the objects within one story relate to one another. Maybe all of them, taken together as a group or in a sequence, tell the story once through. Maybe each object is a total and complete telling of the story, and you are showing us multiple versions of the story, told in different ways, with different emphases or from different perspectives.<\/span><\/p>\n

Your objects should fall into one of the following categories, and you must, out of all 50, make at least one object in each category:<\/span><\/p>\n
