Master the art of live storytelling: 3-day course
-
read
Everyone has a story in them. But telling personal stories may not come naturally to everyone.
In this three-part workshop for adults, you can learn how to tell a rich and personal story and bring audiences with you on the journey.
When is it?
The 3-day workshop takes place on the following dates:
18:30-21:00 on Friday 27 June
15:00-19:00 on Saturday 28 June
11:00-17:00 on Sunday 29 June
What is storytelling?
Storytelling is the social and cultural activity of sharing stories, sometimes with improvisation, theatrics, or embellishment. Every culture has its own stories or narratives, which are shared as a means of entertainment, education, cultural preservation or instilling moral values. If you're new to storytelling, I recommend checking out Mike Birbiglia and The Moth Hour on Youtube to understand our definition of live storytelling.
What is storytelling not?
For this workshop, we will not be reading written texts aloud although the workshop does involve writing.
Storytelling in this workshop is not a kind of therapy, although we will be examining our personal narratives to extract authentic stories for sharing.
What should I bring with me?
Please bring a notebook and pen. You don't need to come with a story in mind. I will provide you with a story. Over the three days, I will take you step by step through the process of retelling an existing story, finding your own story and identifying the message.
There will also be plenty of games and group work so it is essential that participants can attend all 3 sessions.
To get the most out of the workshop, I strongly recommend participants attend all 3.
On the last day, there will be a chance for everyone to tell their own story in front of the group, if they feel comfortable.
Included in the participation fee is tea and coffee. You may also bring your own food and there will be refreshment breaks over the three days.
Because of space limitations, advance registration is compulsory.
