Art of the Story, an intriguing new three-day festival, opens October 29 in San Miguel de Allende at the La Casona Convention Center. Promising “transformative experiences,” the upcoming festival features an international lineup of presenters in a variety of artistic disciplines, including writing, painting, acting and dance. The 27 conference sessions will offer instruction in a wide array of mediums, all inspired by an enticing common theme: that of a personal journey narrated through art. All sessions are meant to be accessible to both beginners and veterans.

Conference headliners include such diverse talents as Edoardo Ballerini, the actor, writer, and celebrated narrator of audiobooks who was called “the Voice of God” in a New York Times profile, and Ivy Pochoda, a former professional athlete and award-winning author who will discuss the role sports have played in her creative life — and how a collaboration with Kobe Bryant helped her understand the symbiotic link between her two passions. There will also be an appearance by Harrison Ball, a former NYC Ballet principal dancer, who will discuss the psychology and history of ballet and its relevance to culture today.
