Storytelling Workshop

Friday, 10:00am | Studio

You know a great story when you hear it – but what makes it work? In these 90 minutes, come and get an intro into the craft of storytelling, strengthen your style, and use structure intentionally and creatively for maximum impact. Offer and receive the kind of feedback that makes everyone’s stories better.
