This workshop, characterized by encouragement, discovery, and laughter, provides a nurturing setting to explore the spoken word and all it can convey. Learn five principles that you can apply to any story you wish to tell. Fun exercises help you imagine with your five senses: sight, sound, smell, touch, and taste; find meaningful gestures; draw on genuine emotions; and use all the tools in your vocal tool kit. This workshop gives you stepping-stones to better storytelling.
Participants are encouraged to bring along a short story to work on.
