If you have a sibling, you have a story!

Join Temple University for a series of sibling storytelling workshops for people with disabilities who are siblings, or siblings of people with disabilities.

Stories from First Person Arts will help you craft a personal story about our first friends and enemies: our siblings! Through guided writing exercises and other techniques, we’ll uncover true tales about how disability affects family.

Connect with other siblings through your shared and unique experiences
All participants will be invited to perform at the culminating Sib Slam storytelling performance on April 13, directed by Jen Cleary, at Christ Church Neighborhood House in Philadelphia
Come alone or with a sibling
Open to storytellers of all levels
