"Stories give people ways to relate to each other. In these workshops, we approach storytelling as a ritual - crafting narrative throughlines with purpose and clarity."

Storyteller Sessions

When is the first time you told a story? Was it by a campfire? Was it to get out of trouble? Did you love the craft of the spark of the idea, the throughline of the thesis, and the success of the resolution?

In the ‘Storyteller Sessions’ Workshop, we will explore different approaches to storytelling for Playwrights, Film Writers, and Musical Book Writers. Throughout this workshop, you can expect a thorough guide through writing or editing a play, screenplay, or book (musical).

 

Use your own script or an idea!

 

Each participant is provided a PDF packet.

 

Sign up to strengthen your story and collaborative teams! (Discounts available for collaborative teams).
