Workshop Descriptions.
Beginner’s Storytelling Workshop.  Inspiring and entertaining lecture-demo on the essentials of storytelling with activities for learning to shape retellings.  This workshop will be useful for anyone getting started in storytelling and will be interesting to advanced storytellers who might want to lead workshops themselves.

Master Class featuring advanced storytellers. Space limited.
This session focuses on ways that storytellers can help each other work through the process of preparing a story for performance. The session engages the audience and other tellers in learning response techniques to help colleagues develop and improve their stories and storytelling.  Workshop includes options to respond or simply listen and observe.
