Storytelling Workshops


 

An Organic Approach

These workshops will help you improve your storytelling skills. After doing them, you can also USE them to help and teach others (but please cite this site as your source).

These workshops work best if you have at least one partner; it is not very effective to merely think about them or do them hypothetically. Would a pianist succeed by only practicing a piece hypothetically? (The answer is 'no', by the way). You need to DO these, out loud and full of enthusiasm and energy!
