Our next storytelling workshop is scheduled for January 2025. We hope you will consider signing up for this intensive and intimate opportunity to explore the craft of storytelling.
In this storytelling workshop, you’ll learn how to shape stories from your life and share them with others in a small group setting. We’ll introduce you to the principles of storytelling and incorporate performance techniques, sensory exploration and memory work to bring your stories to the stage. At the end you will be invited to perform your story at our monthly On The Fly Story Slam.
In this workshop you will:
Be introduced to principles and strategies of live storytelling
Learn to turn your life experiences into a compelling story
Receive individual feedback and support
Work with other storytellers to practice and improve your narrative
Perform a fantastic 5-minute story!
