[Storytelling Workshop Description] From literature to life and from life to literature Theoretical-practical workshop on narrative literature The Literary Workshops of Fundación Casa de México in Spain invite you to participate in the Narrative Workshop, coordinated by Ricardo Chávez Castañeda, a member of the Crack Generation and professor of creative writing.

Distributed in an informative session and in nine theoretical-practical sessions, the Narrative Workshop will address aspects related to the exercise of literary writing.

Taking as a starting point the life and personal experience of the attendees, it will offer the guidelines to lead to the consolidation of a short story or novel.

The Narrative Workshop is aimed at people interested in starting or consolidating the writing of a literary work in the short story or novel genres. In the words of the coordinator:

We should never forget it. Everything comes from life. Literary writing is no exception. The paradigms, structures, logics, narrative formulas could seem to us to be the result of conventions or arbitrariness if we lose sight of this relationship between art and life. This course will focus on the craft of making stories to show that everything has a reason for being. By relating this human need to existence itself, the essences in the art of narrating life and narrating ourselves will be revealed. During this course, the articulation between living and telling stories will offer a new meaning to both. Going through the essences that support both our art of living and our art of narration will make both evolutions more complex, broaden and deepen so that during the course they help us to empower ourselves both in life and in literature. Developing ourselves as writers should be directly related to our development as human beings. Extracting from us our best word is equivalent to extracting from us our best possibility of being. Ricardo Chávez-Castañeda, professor of creative writing, member of the Crack Generation and author of more than 55 titles of children's, youth and adult literature, coordinates. Chávez-Castañeda also has numerous awards and recognitions. Dates: Tuesday, February 1 and 15, March 1 and 15, April 5 and 19, May 3 and 17, and June 14 and 28. [Contents] Introduction. The game
