Storytelling Workshops
A unique and magical experience for adults of all ages
THIS WORKSHOP IS A JOURNEY OF PERSONAL DISCOVERY... AND A HECK OF A LOT OF FUN!
What is your story? We all have at least one. Most of us have a whole lifetimes worth - and they need to be told.
In this fun and lively workshop, you’ll learn how to unearth your core story, the one you most need to tell.
Then over the course of this workshop,
you’ll learn how to create, script and
rehearse your own story. When
ready, you and your fellow storytellers
will have the opportunity to perform it in
a magical night of storytelling, before an
audience of family and friends.
Definitely an experience not to be
missed.
THE WORKSHOP
Each workshop is adapted to the specific and sometimes special needs of the group.
The workshop runs for a total of eight sessions. There are seven sessions of instruction - with the last session being devoted to your storytelling show.
We generally meet once per week, before our show, however, some groups will choose to meet twice a week - and when possible, I like to accommadate them.
You supply your wardrobe, if any is needed, otherwise, all materials ( except tape recorder ) are supplied and every aspect of your show, including; posters, invitations, marquee, lights, sound and audio visual equipment, are taken care of.
( Participants should have access to a tape recorder and will be asked to furnish any props and personal wardrobe needed. )
