Workshops
Team Up! Tell in Tandem
From our Lucky Thirteen Essentials of Tandem Telling to exciting full-blown examples of style, participants will observe and practice a variety of techniques for telling with a partner (s). They will even leave with a tale to tell in tandem!
Our Stories Honor and Reveal Our Heritage: Telling YOUR Stories
Are you wanting skills in expressing yourself through your own stories? Do you want advice on taking something personal and developing it into a story others will enjoy, perhaps learn from? See and hear how this can be done in this hands-on workshop.
Creating Bridges: Cross-Cultural Storytelling
Most of us want to tell stories from other cultures, other lands. Let us help you do this with accuracy and cultural sensitivity. We will discuss and try out differences in body language, gesture and facial expressions. We will work on putting our stories into the proper time and place. We consider the pitfalls of cultural appropriation.
Prose, Rhythm and Rhyme: Using Poetry to Spice Up Your Storytelling
From story poems to catchy refrain, perfect beginnings to memorable endings; adding poetry to your performance adds delight and variety. You may even decide to recite ballads at your next performance!
Samurai, Ghosts and Cranes: The Oral Tradition in Japan.
Come and immerse yourself in the ancient, two-thousand year old, continuous culture of Japan. This is your opportunity to gain an understanding of this rich genre of story, traditional types of tellers, context of these stories and an historical look at their development through various performing arts in Japan, from the ribald to the sacred.
