Storytelling is an essential skill for the 21st Century; a skill that is useful in every aspect of our lives. If you are interested in storytelling, but don’t know where to start, this one-day workshop facilitated by Sheila Wee is for you. It will enable you to gain a firm grounding in storytelling skills, and you will leave with one ready-to-tell story and the tools and confidence to learn and tell more.
In a warm and supportive group environment, you will learn why storytelling is such a powerful form of communication, how stories can be structured to hook listeners' attention, and discover your own personal storytelling style. Through group, partner, and individual exercises, you will be guided through a step-by-step method of learning to tell a story without memorising the words. You will also discover how to add details to make a story uniquely yours, and learn effective story rehearsal and performance techniques.
