In January/February 2010, I will be offering a three-part storytelling workshop. The cost is $100; this includes a graduation performance evening to which students can invite friends and family (the date will be determined at the last class). Spaces are limited, so book early!
Storytelling is a social art form, and can be a powerful medium in our personal lives. Whether you wish to use storytelling in your work (teachers and health workers, for example) or would like to perform stories at storytelling clubs (such as Seanachie Nights or MOOSE), this workshop will give you a firm grounding in storytelling skills.
During this workshop, you will explore your natural abilities and learn how to remember and tell traditional stories, using simple imaging and memory techniques. Not only will you have fun, but you will leave with the beginnings of your own collection of stories.
This workshop is suitable for people at all levels of experience, including anyone who has never told a story before.
- The first session will introduce participants to the rich world of traditional storytelling, through a combination of discussions, handouts, and games.
- In the second session, we will delve more deeply into stories and storytelling, through exercises to aid visualization and language. At the end of this session, participants will be given a short, traditional story to learn.
- In the third session, each participant will tell their story in front of the class and receive constructive feedback on presentation and content.
- Finally, each participant will have the opportunity to perform a traditional story at a graduation performance.
