    StorieRising Folk Tale Episode 4: Character, Clues, and What Ifs
    Feb 16 2025
    StorieRising Season 1:
    In the summer of 2024, neighbors in NE Portland's Cully neighborhood gathered to imagine a world, characters, and events that evolved into Pohdo's Mysterious Island Adventures. But it's a story that has just begun. You're invited to join us on the journey as we practice the art of making stories. In this episode, we learn about following clues we discover in our story that lead us into 'What-If's' and Story Building. We become, "Story Detectives!"

    StorieRising is produced by Dreaming Earth Press with funding support from the Regional Arts and Culture Council.

    StoryRising Folk Tale Episode 2: Mooshie and the Great Forest!
    Nov 3 2024
    In the summer of 2024, neighbors in NE Portland's Cully neighborhood gathered to imagine a world, characters, and events that might occur somewhere in Cullyville. As it happens, Cullyville is not always what it seems. Walking through the neighborhood, it seems like a little village - with ordinary folks, urban farms, dogs and cats, rabbits and crows, overgrown patches of green...Yup. But sometimes we discover floating roofs, crystal caves, petrified forests and luminescent coves - or unique characters - that lead us into worlds of imagination. And that's how this story began.
    This Folk Tale is being created collaboratively. But you don't need to live in the Cully neighborhood to add your ideas to the story. In fact, here's a LINK to a Dreaming Earth Press webpage where you can share your ideas. Please do.
    Enjoy!
