What people are saying:
“If I could give 5 stars, I would! This three-day storytelling workshop led by Caitlin and Christina, the founders of “On The Fly Story Slam’, was a truly enriching experience. Their dynamic teaching style, and insightful guidance, helped participants craft compelling narratives. Through interactive exercises and constructive feedback, the workshop fostered creativity and honed storytelling skills effectively. It was a true safe space, where people were able to show and share vulnerability and personal experiences. Highly recommended for all (aspiring) storytellers.” (Pim Zeegers, Citiot Catskill)
“I may not be a wallflower but, I am pretty shy. Caitlin & Christina’s three-week, story-telling workshop turned out to be the perfect place for me to find the stranger in me that jumped into different characters at their suggestion, explored stories of my past and made up stories about, seemingly, mundane things on the spot that weren’t so mundane after all. Now, I don’t just feel that there are stories in me, I know there are!” (Thomas McManus)
“The story telling workshop was so much fun! I especially liked all the different word games and response exercises. It was also great to get to workshop our stories. Of course the venue brings together the most interesting people who share fascinating tales. I highly recommend it!” (Carol Washington)
“As a NYC retired high school English teacher, I can say with unequivocal certainty that both Caitlin and Christina are superlative and savvy story slam instructors. They gently, humorously and eloquently shared their passion and knowledge and guided the eager participants to levels I don’t think any of us could have imagined prior to taking their course. Fulfilling and fun, the time sped by, warm friendships were established and we all were grateful for the nuts and bolts, the structure and nuances of telling a story that they shared so generously.” (Lou Craft, Hudson)
“Christina and Caitlin set the tone, creating a safe setting for growth while being stimulating, meaningful, and fun. Like anything new, there was a level of vulnerability and all the hard things that come with putting oneself out there. I walked away from each session feeling like I had much more to learn. The workshop honed in on the fascinating process of getting to the essence of a story. Like inwriting, a story has several iterations of telling and editing to find the point or reason for being something to share. I would love to do it again; it was a positive experience.” (Joanne Ziello, Catskill)
“Cait and Christina are the best at what they do, so having a screen in the way (due to coronavirus) did not hinder the wonderful benefits of this workshop. The 6 weeks flew by and were packed with helpful tactics about how to tell your story effectively, on-your-toes exercises that cultivate inspiration for your personal storytelling craft, and there was an overall sense of safety, joy, support, and play. I really wish that I could participate in this workshop in person – when it’s safe to do so!” (Paige Monopoli, Boston)
“I had always winged my storytelling process and on stage stories then made the decision to take this workshop. I learned that I was definitely doing some things right but was taught ways to become a more polished storyteller, When we get to tell stories again in public I will really be ready. I feel I gained more confidence as a person in my abilities, the group leaders made it fun and I looked forward to the sessions. They gave me the tips I feel I needed to hear and improved the stories that I now tell to friends and even to my business clients so I am overall a more entertaining person and a better public speaker. Thank you Caitlin and Christina for doing what you do to help us deliver our stories to the world.” (Sue Baer, Hudson)
“Crazy sexy cool experience. Drop mic.” (Tevis Trower, Woodstock NY)
“The whole thing was really wonderful, and fun, and incredible. You both contribute so much of your own natural talents and experience to it, and set a terrific, warm, fun, but professional tone. It was awesome. Thank you both so much!” (Larissa Phillips, Earlton NY)
