As I experience it, “storytelling” is both writing AND performing.

But!

"Performing" can be such a loaded word. Intimidating, even. For us as Storytellers, it’s somehow NOT acting, NOT stand-up, not preaching from a soapbox… but maybe a little of all of these?

​

So!

Over the course of several weeks, we spend time each session working both on getting things down: hushing the inner critic, limbering up the writing mind, playing with words and ideas and memories. Then also, getting them out!

What involves you as a listener? What about your own voice is great, and interesting and unique? We build confidence and muscles and trust all while also starting to build a body of work that is each person’s own.
