ABSTRACT

This chapter will consider the implications of co-creation for authenticity in personal storytelling, especially as it stems from and between other workshop participants, project goals, and institutional foundations. Together, along with interactions with the audience and the facilitator, these factors influence the narratives that storytellers are able to share in the workshop. An examination on the question of authorship addressed in the previous chapter further complicates this question by addressing how autobiographical storytelling is shaped in private and public ways.
