The intention of theseworkshops is that you will come away with a deeper appreciation of yourself asa storyteller. You will also come away with a story to tell! Whenpeople ask what you did you will be able to say: “I had fun!! I engaged withthe great joy that is storytelling. I shared and felt trust. I played somegames, I wrote a little bit, I listened to some great stories, I stretched…”

We will:

· sharedifferent perspectives through storytelling

· geta sense of the many ways to structure a story

· explorestorytelling techniques and approaches

· encourage‘learning by heart’ (NOT memorizing)

· finda manageable sequence of events within our stories

· playwith dynamics and modulation
