Speaking Your Truth First Steps in the Art of Storytelling

For everyone.
Learn the art of personal storytelling in a low-stakes, information-packed, highly entertaining workshop designed for people with little or no previous storytelling experience.

Or maybe even to take the stage someday and perform!
Come explore
- Methods for generating story ideas from life experiences
- Simple, highly effective strategies for crafting an entertaining, engaging story
- The development of humor, suspense, and stakes in storytelling
- Games designed to help you speak on the spur of the moment, and how to apply the skills taught in class to everyday storytelling.
You will be invited (but not required) to develop your own story to present to the class for critique.
